Summary
Today I want to cover the benefits of cumin. Cumin is different than black cumin, which I’ve done a video on in the past.
Potential health benefits of cumin:
• It’s high in B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and manganese
• It’s a powerful antioxidant
• It has anti-inflammatory properties
• It promotes healthy digestion (it may potentially help with bloating, gas, nausea, IBS, vomiting, gut spasms, and diarrhea)
• It’s antifungal, antiparasitic, and antimicrobial
• It’s antidiabetic
• It has properties that may help lower your blood pressure
Cumin is the #1 spice in the world. Comment below and let me know what your thoughts are on cumin and if you use it when you cook.
