Haleem Seeds: Also known as halim seeds or garden cress, Haleem Seeds pack a powerhouse punch of highly bioavailable iron that can significantly elevate the levels of haemoglobin in your body.
Interestingly, these tiny nutritional dynamos can offer approximately 12-17mg of iron per tablespoon, which easily surpass 2.7mg per 100g of Spinach and 14.6m per 10g of sesame seeds. The best thing is that iron derived from Haleem seeds enhances uptake in the small intestine, combating anaemia more effectively for women, vegetarians and active lifestyles.
Haleem Seeds-Iron Content Edge
A single tablespoon of these seeds can deliver up to 60 percent of your body’s daily iron requirements. Yes, you read that exactly right! This easily dwarfs the water-heavy bulk of spinach that requires massive volumes for equivalent level of iron.
In contrast, sesame seeds lag with lower bioavailability despite density. On the other hand, the nutrients of Haleem seeds pair efficiently with vitamin C enhancers like lemon for optimal haemoglobin synthesis.
Several studies have highlighted the role of Haleem seeds in the production of red blood cells in the body, reducing fatigue faster than nuts or leafy greens.
Additional Health Benefits
Beyond iron, Haleem seeds brim with complete proteins (25-30g per serving), fibre (7-8g) and antioxidants for immunity and digestion. They regulate hormones via phytoestrogens to ease menstrual irregularities and boost lactation in mothers.
Bone and Beauty Boost
Rich in calcium (318mg), phosphorus, and vitamin K, these seeds have the ability to fortify bones against osteoporosis. Iron and proteins nourish hair follicles, while vitamins A, C and E shield skin from damage.
Weight and Wellness Perks
High fibre helps in curbing hunger, aiding weight management alongside potassium for heart health. Antibacterial properties fend off colds, making Haleem a versatile superfood.
Incorporate Haleem by soaking overnight in water or milk, blending into laddoos or sprinkling on salads.
