he tiny garden cress seed, also known as halim or aliv, is a treasure trove of iron. To improve the absorption of iron, first soak 1 tbsp of garden cress seeds in lemon water for 30 minutes or till they swell up. The vitamin C in lemon juice will ensure maximum uptake of iron. Now, you can add the soaked seeds to your salads and other recipes, or have them as such. You can also powder the seeds and add them to salads, soups, vegetables, etc.
