Studies suggest coriander may help lower blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin activity, making it beneficial for managing diabetes when used as part of a balanced diet. - Promotes Heart Health
Coriander may reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL), while its potassium content supports healthy blood pressure levels. - Anti-Microbial Properties
The essential oils in coriander have antibacterial effects, which may help fight foodborne pathogens and support oral health. - Boosts Skin and Hair Health
