Heart Healthy

Canary seeds are best known for their lipid-lowering action, which help to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood.

According to a report by the Groningen University Medical Center (Netherlands), they contain an enzyme called lipase that promotes the cleansing of the arteries to remove harmful lipids (fats), including cholesterol and triglycerides.
