Cumin seeds(Jeera)
Cumin is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to the Irano-Turanian Region. Its seeds – each one contained within a fruit, which is dried – are used in the cuisines of many cultures in both whole and ground form
Cumin contains compounds called flavonoids that work as antioxidants in the body. Antioxidants can help neutralize unstable particles called free radicals that cause cell damage. By neutralizing these particles, antioxidants can help prevent diseases like cancer, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
Cumin is also a good source of:
Vitamin A
Calcium
Iron
Improve Digestion
Research has shown that cumin can help with several types of digestive issues. In one study, cumin extract significantly relieved irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms like belly pain, bloating, and the urgent need to go to the bathroom.
Cumin has long been a popular folk remedy for diarrhea, and some initial studies have shown strong evidence to support this use.
Weight Control
Several early studies have revealed that cumin may help people lose weight as part of a healthy diet. In one study, people who took cumin powder reduced their weight, waist circumference, fat mass, and body mass index (BMI). Another study found that cumin supplements may be as effective at reducing weight and BMI as a commonly used weight loss drug.
