In Indian households, we
frequently use both the seeds and leaves of methi (fenugreek) in
our dals, parathas, curries and various dishes.However, you wouldn’t know that
methi or fenugreek is also a rich reservoir of medicinal properties. It
contains protein, fibre, vitamin C, niacin, potassium, iron and
alkaloids. It is beneficial to diabetic patients and also
helps to alleviate the symptoms of both menstruation and menopause. In short
fenugreek has numerous health benefits which can help in overall well being. So
try to include it in your diet at least once in a week. Green vegetables are very healthy for which we
should make it a part of our diet in any way.
