Fenugreek(Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) has been traditionally used as a condiment and for its many phytochemical properties since ancient times. Its health properties are due to its content of secondary metabolites, mainly alkaloids, saponins, tannins, phenols and many others. Fenugreek, in particular the seeds, has traditionally been used for numerous indications, such as aiding labor, stimulating lactation and its effect on digestion and intestinal transit. In modern research, several animal and clinical studies have demonstrated the health effects of fenugreek supplementation.

Detailed description

Trigonella foenum-graecum, a member of the Fabaceae family and commonly known as fenugreek, is a popular leguminous annual native to India and North Africa. It is now widely cultivated in other parts of the world, including Europe, South Asia, Argentina and Australia. The fenugreek plant reaches 60 cm in height and its seeds are diamond-shaped and golden yellow. Fenugreek seeds and leaves are used as a spice and ingredient in culinary preparations in many countries. It is used as a functional and traditional food, as well as in nutraceutical applications.

The fenugreek plant, in particular the seeds, is known as one of the world’s oldest medicinal herbs. It has been traditionally used for centuries for its benefits for the digestive system, loss of appetite, sexual health, as a tonic and to maintain normal cholesterol levels. It is also used for women’s health, notably to promote lactation and relieve menstrual pain.

The health effects of fenugreek, and its seeds, are mainly attributed to the various nutritional and phytochemical constituents it contains. It’s a good source of mucilaginous fiber, 4-hydroxyisoleucine, steroidal saponins (diosgenin), alkaloids (trigonelline, gentian, choline), polyphenols, flavonoids and essential oils.
