What it is

Dried fenugreek leaves, also known as 'methi', are the leaves of the fenugreek plant (Trigonella foenum-graecum). The leaves are harvested, dried, and often crushed or ground before use. They have a distinct, slightly bitter, herbaceous flavor.

Why it's used

Dried fenugreek leaves are primarily used as a flavoring agent in savory dishes. They are common in Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines, adding a unique aroma and taste to curries, stews, vegetable dishes, and bread. They are also sometimes used in spice blends.

Health notes

Fenugreek is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Some studies suggest fenugreek may have benefits for blood sugar and cholesterol levels, but more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated fenugreek and established an acceptable daily intake. EFSA has also evaluated fenugreek extracts. Evidence regarding its health effects is still developing.

Allergen info

Fenugreek is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
