The Bhang Beej can also be mix with rice and eaten raw. Roasted seeds used with the Himalayan rock salt to form flavored salt. Oil extracted from the seeds used in cooking or as a medicine. This oil is also known to be rich in Omega 3 & Omega 6, essential fatty acids. Bhang Beej seeds unlike Flax seeds are tastier and contain extra Omega fatty acids.
The people of Garhwal and Kumaon have been using the leaves and seeds of the beefsteak plant for ages to spice up their dishes. The oil from the ground seeds can even used for making pickles. Organically grown in the upper reaches of Uttarakhand, these seeds are a more nutritional substitute for cod liver oil.
