10 Benefits of Cumin
Cumin Benefit #4: Contains Iron
Iron deficiency is very common around the world, even in wealthy countries. Over 20% of the population is deficient in iron. Cumin seed contains 3.3 milligrams of iron per 5 grams, which is almost 1 tbsp of cumin, which is 20% of the daily iron intake that is recommended for women and 34% of the daily iron intake that is recommended for men.
The iron helps produce healthy red blood cells to aid in bodily function. The chemical composition of cumin helps maintain levels of elements such as iron, potassium and even calcium. This rich source of iron also helps increase hemoglobin levels, improving blood flow and allowing for healthy menstruation.
