Abstract

With the rising trend toward the use of natural substances in medicines, the utilization of cress seed mucilage (Lepidium sativum L.) has gained significant importance.Since the Vedic period, the subcontinent has employed garden cress (Lepidium sativum) for medical reasons. There are several ecological and industrial uses of garden cress that are summarized in this paper. The emerging evidence revealed that in the Unani school of medicine, the seeds and leaves of this plant might be used to treat inflammation, bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and muscle discomfort. Asthma, cough, and peptic ulcers are also said to benefit from their usage. Anti-hemagglutinating, hypoglycemic, antihypertensive, diuretic, and fracture-healing qualities are also attributed to the plant. A special emphasis was placed in the study on the nutritional content of the leaves, which revealed that they are an excellent source of macroelements such as potassium and sodium, but also of calcium and trace minerals such as iron, magnesium and zinc. Conclusion:The current study also discusses the culinary items that have been created by combining garden cress seed powder with other ingredients. As an underused oilseed crop, garden cress seeds should be promoted for their production and consumption.
