Why Fenugreek Seeds Benefit Your System:
Methi dana (fenugreek seed) is an excellent blood sugar regulator—sprouted fenugreek is exceptionally beneficial for people with diabetes as it helps lower and regulate blood sugar levels. Sprouted fenugreek retains 30-40% more nutritive properties than soaked seeds, making it a vital addition to a sentient diet.
According to Ayurveda, methi seeds create heat in the body and are best suited for Kapha (water-dominant) body types. People with a Kapha constitution should include more heat-producing foods in their diet. A
-dominant person can enjoy fenugreek seeds in any form—sprouted, powdered, soaked, or whole.
Pitta or fire-dominant individuals can drink the water from soaked fenugreek seeds or the liquid drained after sprouting, which may help relieve acidity and abdominal issues by cooling the system.
The amber-colored seeds are excellent for flavoring and are widely used in Ayurvedic remedies to create healing concoctions for common ailments.
Additional health benefits of fenugreek seeds include:
Antacid: Consume soaked fenugreek seeds on an empty stomach to help decrease acidity and maintain digestive balance.
Digestion: Add soaked fenugreek seeds or sprouts regularly to your meals to promote healthy digestion and keep gastritis at bay.
Cholesterol: Fenugreek seeds help lower cholesterol levels, supporting cardiovascular vitality.
Nutritional Benefits: Sprouted fenugreek seeds are exceptional blood sugar regulators, retaining 30-40% more nutritive properties than soaked seeds. This crisp salad combines the mildly bitter complexity of methi sprouts with peppery rocket leaves, dressed simply with mineral-rich Black Himalayan salt and nourishing argan oil.
