Fenugreek (/ËfÉnjÊÉ¡riËk/ ; Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an annual plant in the family Fabaceae, with leaves consisting of three small obovate to oblong leaflets. It is cultivated worldwide as a semiarid crop, and its seeds are a common ingredient in dishes from the Indian subcontinent.uboid-shaped, yellow-to amber-colored fenugreek seeds are frequently encountered in the cuisines of the Indian Subcontinent, used both whole and powdered in the preparation of pickles, vegetable dishes, daal s, and spice mixes such as panch phoron and sambar powder.
Few clinical trials on fenugreek are available. In one study, 10 patients with insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes were randomly assigned to 10 days of either 50 g of fenugreek seed powder twice daily or placebo, plus usual therapy. The fenugreek diet significantly reduced fasting blood glucose and improved glucose tolerance test results.
