Top Heart Attack Fighters - Fenugreek ( Methi ) Seeds
The high fibre and saponin content of fenugreek (methi) have a cholesterol lowering effect. Soluble fibre absorbs water, swells, and binds the bad cholesterol, helping to remove it from the body. An easy way to incorporate methi seeds in your diet is to add them to dals (while tempering) or vegetables, or sprout them and add to a regular vegetable salad. Alternatively, eat six to eight soaked methi seeds on an empty stomach on a regular basis to lower your blood cholesterol levels.
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is a plant in the Family Fabaceae. It is commonly known as menthya (Kannada), Venthayam (Tamil), menthulu (Telugu) or Methi (Bangla, Hindi, Marathi). Fenugreek is used both as a herb (the leaves) and as a spice (the seed). It is cultivated worldwide as a semi-arid crop. It is frequently used in curry.
Fenugreek is used to flavour a variety of dishes and is also in bread making. It is one of the most powerful and ancient spices, believed to aid digestion. Its leaves are used both fresh and dried and the dried seeds are commonly used in ground spice mixes. Dried fenugreek leaves are often referred to as kasoori methi.
