Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is a herbaceous plant from the legume family, cultivated for thousands of years and widely used in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. The seeds have an oval shape, light brown or yellow color, and a characteristic bitter-spicy flavor. In cooking, it is added to curries, masala spice blends, and traditional dishes such as the Ethiopian chicken stew «Doro-Wat». Fenugreek can be used as whole grains or ground into powder, making it a versatile spice for preparing various dishes.
In Ayurvedic medicine, fenugreek is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and dietary properties. The powder contains mucilage, steroid saponins (diosgenin), vitamins A, B, D, phytic acid, and trigonellin, which help reduce skin irritation, moisturize, tighten pores, and stimulate hair growth. It is also used to regulate appetite, increase weight, build muscle mass, and support breast health.
Fenugreek is also used in cosmetic products: masks, lotions, shampoos, and clays. Its properties help combat oily skin, acne, inflammation, and hair loss, as well as aid in skin restoration and increasing hair shine. The powder is packed in Doypack ZIP (30 g), organic, and certified Ecocert FR-BIO-01, stored in a dry place, and not used as dry seeds.
