What it is

Fenugreek powder is made from the dried seeds of the fenugreek plant (Trigonella foenum-graecum), which is native to the Mediterranean region and India. The seeds are typically roasted and ground into a fine powder for use in food.

Why it's used

Fenugreek powder is used as a spice and flavoring agent, adding a slightly bitter, maple-like flavor to foods. It is common in spice blends, curries, pickles, and baked goods, particularly in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines.

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 management, but more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated fenugreek and established specifications for its use as a food ingredient. Evidence on health effects is mixed and not conclusive.

Allergen info

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