Uses in Cooking:

Fenugreek is widely used in many countries and is a key ingredient in numerous spice blends, where the seeds are often ground into powder: Indian curry, garam masala, North African ras-el-hanout, tajines, and Caribbean colombo. In these blends, its property as a "binding agent" in dishes is particularly valued. Fenugreek powder swells and softens when in contact with water or food.

Beyond culinary uses, fenugreek is also packed with health benefits.

Who am I?

Origin: India

Scientific name: Trigonella foenum-graecum

Other names: Sénégrain, trigonelle

Fenugreek has a distinctive, slightly "thick" aroma but is rich in health benefits. It contains high levels of iron, phosphorus, sulfur, and vitamins (A, B1). It also has steroidal saponins that support the synthesis of cholesterol and sex hormones.

Fenugreek may help with hyperglycemia in certain types of diabetes, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, and boost lactation in nursing mothers. Additionally, its carbohydrate-rich seeds are a natural fortifier.

To use fenugreek medicinally, you can consume crushed seeds or drink water infused with seeds after soaking them for a few hours, often sweetened with honey to counter its slightly bitter taste. In North Africa, where curvier women are often preferred, fenugreek is also used to stimulate appetite and promote weight gain.

You can also sprout the seeds and enjoy the young shoots in salads.

Fenugreek is even used in the production of Viandox.

High consumption of fenugreek can give a distinct smell to urine and sweat.

In organic farming, fenugreek is utilized as a green manure. Seeds are planted in spring and plowed into the soil before flowering to avoid reseeding and overgrowth.

Fenugreek, or trigonelle, is an annual herbaceous plant in the legume family, growing up to 60 cm tall. It thrives in open fields with calcium-rich soils. Its leaves are composed of three oval leaflets, similar to clover. The yellowish flowers yield curved pods over 10 cm long by August/September, containing 10-20 angular seeds of light brown color, with a characteristic aroma, bitter flavor, and exceptional hardness.

Originally from North Africa and the Mediterranean basin, fenugreek quickly spread to Mediterranean and Indian regions, reaching as far as China. In France, it is found from Gironde to the Italian border.

A Brief History:

Fenugreek was already used in ancient Egypt, 1500 BCE, for embalming the dead and purifying the air in homes and places of worship. It was also believed to combat respiratory infections, alongside its invigorating properties.

In antiquity, fenugreek was used as fodder, earning its name "Greek hay," which evolved into "fenugreek." This practice is still common in India.
