About Fenugreek seed

Fenugreek seeds, native to the Mediterranean region and widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines, are small, golden-brown kernels known for their slightly bitter, nutty flavor. Rich in nutrients, they are an excellent source of fiber, protein, iron, magnesium, and vitamin B6. Fenugreek seeds are prized for their health benefits, including supporting digestive health, reducing inflammation, and helping regulate blood sugar levels. They contain compounds such as saponins and diosgenin that are believed to aid hormonal balance and lactation. Used in spice blends, curries, and teas, fenugreek seeds are versatile and aromatic. However, their strong flavor can be overpowering if used in excess, and some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort. When consumed in moderation, fenugreek seeds can be a nutritious and flavorful addition to a balanced diet.
