Banyan Botanicals Fenugreek Seed - USDA Organic - Aromatic Spice that Promotes Healthy Digestion* - Trigonella foenum-graecum

Flavorful Seed that Supports Digestion Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is a pungent, flavorful seed commonly used to add a pop of flavor to a meal. Fenugreek, also known as methi, is a warming spice that kindles the digestive fire and supports the body’s ability to break down food and maintain a comfortable digestive experience. Fenugreek is especially beneficial for vata type digestion where there is a tendency for gas or bloating after meals. To release the complex, nutty aroma of fenugreek, dry roast the seeds in a pan before grinding them into a powder, or adding them whole into soups, dal, curries, sautéed vegetables, or roasted potatoes. Fenugreek is also known for its cleansing and tonifying effect on the genito-urinary system, helping to maintain balanced fluid levels in the body. As a women’s tonic, fenugreek nourishes rasa dhatu, supporting the healthy production of breast milk and acting as a rejuvenative to the female reproductive system. Aside from its use as a culinary spice, fenugreek seeds can be steeped as a tea, or sprouted into fresh and flavorful greens. Herbs are their most potent at the time of harvest, and they slowly lose their potency over time. If kept in airtight containers and out of direct sunlight, they can remain usable for many years. For best results, we suggest using our bulk herbs within two years of purchase.
