Halim seeds—also known as aliv seeds or garden cress seeds (Lepidium sativum)—are tiny, nutrient-dense red seeds packed with iron, protein, calcium, and dietary fiber.
Key Health Benefits
• High Iron & Hemoglobin: Rich in iron and folic acid, they help combat anemia, boost hemoglobin levels, and reduce fatigue.
• Bone & Hair Strength: High amounts of calcium, magnesium, and protein support bone density and minimize hair fall.
• Digestive Health: High soluble fiber and mucilage content promote regular bowel movements and soothe the gut.
• Hormonal & Lactation Support: Often used in traditional wellness to balance hormones and support postpartum recovery or breast milk production.
How to Consume
• Soak Before Eating: Soak 1 to 2 teaspoons of halim seeds in water for 4 to 6 hours (or overnight) until they turn gel-like.
