Product Description:
Originating in the Mediterranean region and Asia, Fenugreek (Trigonella
Foenum-graecum) is one of the oldest herbs known. Its seeds were highly
praised for their beneficial uses in ancient Egypt and India and later among
the Greeks and Romans.
The seeds were also used to produce a yellow dye for
coloring wool. As Fenugreek spread around the Mediterranean, ancient
physicians learned that its seeds contained a great deal of mucilage and
when mixed with water provided many health benefits. The most common uses of
Fenugreek today are culinary, such as providing a maple flavor for
confectionaries, an ingredient of curry powders, and as an enhancement for
meats, poultry and marinated vegetables.
