Bhanjjera seeds, also known as "bhangjira" or "perilla seeds" (from Perilla frutescens), are small, oval seeds commonly found in the Himalayan regions and parts of India. They are often light brown to grayish and have a slightly nutty taste with a hint of minty flavor. These seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which makes them nutritious and beneficial for heart health. They also contain a good amount of protein, fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. Traditionally, bhanjjera seeds are used in regional Indian cuisines, especially in Uttarakhand, where they are often roasted and ground into chutneys or added to curries for flavor. In folk medicine, these seeds are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and are used to support digestive health.
