These are known as Halim in Hindi, Asalio in Gujarati, and Ahliva in Marathi, and are usually roasted and eaten in salads and soups. Iron, folate, vitamin A, dietary fibre, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin E, and protein are all found in abundance in garden cress. It also has a high concentration of ascorbic acid, arachidic acid, folic acid, and beta carotene, all of which aid in immune system improvement.
Garden cress is high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. It includes estrogen-like plant compounds that aid in the regulation of menstruation as well as the stimulation of milk supply in nursing mothers.
Because of its aromatic, refreshing, and distinct flavour, garden cress is always utilised in oriental cuisine. It can be used in sandwiches, salads, and drinks after being ground with black pepper.
It can be cooked with a little salt and added to a salad.
It can be steeped in water before being added to milk or juice.
Many medical properties are associated with garden cress. Scientific studies are currently being conducted to determine its health benefits. However, it should be consumed in moderation because too much of these seeds might be harmful to one's health.
