Premium Garden Cress Seeds | Halim Seeds 200g

Halim (Garden Cress) Seeds, a traditional Indian kitchen staple.

Our Garden Cress Seeds, known as halim, aliv or chandrashoor, are tiny reddish-brown seeds with a mild, peppery taste. When soaked, they swell and form a soft gel coating, much like chia seeds. They've been a part of traditional Indian recipes, especially home-made ladoos, for generations. No additives or preservatives.

How to use it

• Soaked drink: Soak 1 tsp in a glass of water, milk or coconut water for 1–2 hours until they swell. Add a squeeze of lemon or a little honey.
• Halim ladoo: Soak in coconut water or milk, then cook with jaggery, grated coconut and ghee.
• Smoothies and desserts: Stir soaked seeds into smoothies, kheer or puddings.
• Sprouting: Sprinkle on damp paper towel and grow peppery cress microgreens for salads and sandwiches.

Ingredients

100% garden cress seeds (Lepidium sativum).

Allergen and safety guidance

Garden cress belongs to the same plant family as mustard. If you have a mustard allergy, check with your doctor before use. Traditionally, halim is avoided during pregnancy, so please check with your doctor first if you are pregnant. Always soak before eating and start with small amounts.

Storage

Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use a dry spoon and reseal tightly after each use.
