Fenugreek – plant characteristics
Fenugreek [Latin: Trigonella foenum-graecum] is an annual plant originating from Asia, with very wide medicinal and culinary uses. Other common names for fenugreek include fenegryka, goat's horn, God's grass, or Greek hay. In the wild, fenugreek occurs in Asia and Eastern Europe. The primary herbal raw material obtained from fenugreek is its seeds, partly due to the high content of polysaccharide mucilage – its content can exceed even 40%. Less commonly, fenugreek leaves are harvested, but in Iran, this is a commonly used raw material for eye diseases. Fenugreek is also an important ingredient in the world-famous curry blend.

Fenugreek in the kitchen
Although fenugreek is not widely known in Poland, it is a very widely used spice in other parts of the world. Fenugreek has a slightly bitter and aromatic taste, reminiscent of a mixture of lovage and burnt sugar. Roasted fenugreek loses its bitterness and tastes more like nuts. Fenugreek is an important ingredient in curry blends and other spice mixes such as Bengali panch poron, Yemeni salatah, or Ethiopian berbere. Ground fenugreek is suitable for preparing oriental and Indian vegetable dishes, especially legumes. In North Africa and India, fenugreek has also been used in bakeries as an additive to breads.

Tips
Store fenugreek in airtight, sealed containers. Each of our spice packages has a zip closure, which makes opening and closing easier. Ground fenugreek in a regular foil pack quickly loses its aroma after opening and can easily spill. To preserve as many vitamins as possible and release the full power of the aroma, it is best to add fenugreek at the end of cooking.

Fenugreek – medicinal and cosmetic properties
Fenugreek positively affects digestive processes, relieves constipation, bloating, improves intestinal peristalsis, and stimulates appetite. Extract from fenugreek seeds is used to combat stomach ulcers. It effectively lowers bad cholesterol and blood sugar levels, which may protect against coronary artery disease, heart attack, or atherosclerosis.
