Abstract

The burden of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCD) is increasing worldwide. Epidemiological evidence supports the claim that the consumption of functional food ingredients and reduction in the risk of NCDs has a positive correlation resulting in increasing demand for foods with phytochemicals can be observed. The review discusses the potential role of the edible ‘Super seeds’ namely Chia, Flaxseed, Sesame and Pumpkin seeds. These seeds are rich source of potential phytochemicals resulting in excellent therapeutic benefits. The study also included an overview of their mechanism in controlling various diseases.
