5. Cumin (Jeera)
The subtle scent of cumin that you smell in most Indian homes is due to cuminaldehyde, an organic oil that is the active compound in this flavourful spice. Cumin reduces hypoglycaemia, and helps relieve stress, thereby promoting better sleep. Cuminaldehyde can treat respiratory problems like asthma and bronchitis, as well as piles. Rich in iron, cumin is good for lactating mothers and can prevent anaemia as well.
6. Mustard (Rye)
Both mustard seeds and mustard oil have a rich flavour that is derived from phytonutrients. They protect against ageing and cancer, lower cholesterol, relieve arthritic pain and can even help you lose weight. Mustard also improves immunity and boosts hair growth!
