Selected from the University of Melbourne, Wimmera Sungold has large darker colored seeds that are a good source of certain compounds that can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. The amino acid 4-hydroxyisoleucine in these fenugreek seeds may also help lower the rate of glucose absorption in the intestines, which in turn lowers blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes. In addition, the high fiber content of all fenugreek varieties helps ease constipation.
