Red Cress Seeds: Overview
Red Cress Seeds are derived from the Lepidium sativum plant, a small annual herb belonging to the Brassicaceae family. These seeds are reddish-brown in color and are valued for their sharp, peppery taste and numerous health benefits. Commonly used in traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda and Unani, Red Cress Seeds are rich in iron, folate, protein, dietary fiber, and essential phytochemicals. They are known to support digestion, improve hemoglobin levels, and boost immunity. Additionally, they are used to enhance lactation in nursing mothers and support skin and hair health. Red Cress Seeds can be consumed raw, soaked in water, or incorporated into health drinks, smoothies, and sweets. The seeds are harvested from the mature pods of the flowering plant and are often used for both culinary and therapeutic purposes. Their combination of flavor and nutrition makes them a versatile and functional ingredient in natural health practices.
