Benefits of Fenugreek ::
Cholesterol control

Can cholesterol be controlled naturally?

Cholesterol is a fat that is produced by the liver and is very important for normal body function. It is a waxy steroid and is transported in the blood plasma of human beings. LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) is a type of cholesterol that causes risk for arterial disease when present in high levels in the blood. LDL is also called as bad cholesterol.

Fenugreek is known as ‘Methika’ in Sanskrit. It increases heat in the body. The seeds and leaves of fenugreek are used for cooking. Fenugreek has high fiber content that actually blocks LDL absorption. The presence of soluble fiber increases the viscosity of the digested food and inhibits the uptake of cholesterol and bile acids.

Fenugreek can be used in recipes as seeds, sprouts and dried or fresh leaves. The seeds can be lightly toasted, powdered and used for curry recipes for a special flavor. Powdered fenugreek can also be used in pancake mixes, lentil and rice recipes.
