ALVI PAYSA

I had ordered Garden Cress seeds on Amazon and got them yesterday. I planted some to see if they'll sprout and maybe I'll have some microgreens for a salad next week.. talk about pre-planning meals 😎

Alvi is commonly used in Uttar Karnataka and less in the South. It is a popular post partum superfood given to new mums. It is also a very good source of Iron, Folic Acid, Vit A, C & E, Calcium etc. Helps regulate hormone, hair loss.. Uff! 

All in all.. it's one seed that we must keep in our pantry and routinely consume it in form or the other.
