Fenugreek Leaves | Trigonella Foenum Graecum

Product Description:

Fenugreek leaves, also known as methi leaves (Trigonella foenum-graecum), are the fresh, vibrant green foliage of the fenugreek plant. Known for their distinct, slightly bitter flavor, fenugreek leaves are widely used in cooking, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. These leaves are rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and iron. Fenugreek leaves have a slightly pungent aroma and are often added to curries, stews, flatbreads, and vegetable dishes. They are also valued for their medicinal properties, aiding in digestion, promoting lactation in nursing mothers, and helping to manage blood sugar levels. Fenugreek leaves can be used both fresh and dried, with the fresh leaves offering a more delicate, grassy taste. In addition to their culinary and health benefits, they are also used in traditional beauty treatments for their skin and hair care properties.
