The present investigation was aimed to increase consumption of green leafy vegetables in the daily diet thus combating the micronutrient deficiencies, especially iron and calcium. A series of laboratory experiments were carried out to study nutritional constituents of some selected green leafy vegetables and after comparing the iron and calcium content of the dehydrated green leafy vegetables, Amaranthus spinosus, Talinum triangulare and Chenopodium album were found to be higher in both iron and calcium content. So, these three green leafy vegetables were selected for incorporation in various products. These greens were mixed in three different proportions and these formulations were computed for nutritional and tested for rehydration and Formulation- 1 was judged nutritionally superior and showed good physical properties after rehydration. Hence, Formulation 1 was incorporated in preparation of various recipes at 10%, 15% and 20% level and these were found acceptable upto 15% level of incorporation.
