Why Fenugreek Seeds are Good for You:

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.

According to Ayurveda, methi seeds create heat in the body and are best suited for Kapha (water-dominant) body types. People with a Kapha body type should add more heat-producing foods to their diet.

A Kapha-dominant person can have fenugreek seeds, tea, or any other form – sprouted, powdered, soaked, or whole.

Pitta or fire-dominant individuals can drink the water from soaked fenugreek seeds or the liquid drained after soaking or sprouting them, which may help relieve acidity and abdominal issues.

The amber-colored seeds are excellent for flavoring and are widely used in Ayurveda remedies to create concoctions that relieve common ailments.

Some other health benefits of fenugreek seeds include:

Antacid: You can consume soaked fenugreek seeds on an empty stomach to help decrease acidity.

Digestion: Add soaked fenugreek seeds or sprouts regularly to your meals to promote digestion and keep gastritis at bay.

Cholesterol: Fenugreek seeds also help lower cholesterol levels.
