Description

Remember those childhood years when you swallowed watermelon seeds while eating the delicious fruit impatiently and then wondered if you might have a watermelon plant growing in your stomach? Well, unbeknownst to you those seeds probably did your health well. Indians have been using them for centuries. Many of us have consumed them without knowing what they were.

It also commonly called as Tarbooj ka beeej in India.

Key benefits of watermelon seeds:

• High in magnesium, iron, zinc and phosphorus — essential for bone, muscle and metabolic health.

• Contain bioactive compounds (phenolics, flavonoids) which help protect cells from oxidative stress.
• Rich in fibre — supports digestive health and may help regulate cholesterol & blood sugar.
• Versatile and sustainable snack option — easy to include in daily meals or convenience snacking.
