Health Information
| Fenugreek (Trigonella
foenum-graecum)
Description...
This plant is a member of a
legume family and has been used for centuries for digestive problems, skin injuries, sore
throats, fever, muscle aches, and impotence.
Fenugreek is a legume not a
grain, so as with other legumes, it contains a high vegetable and protein content. It is
high in vitamin B and phosphorus compounds which make it beneficial for nervous
complaints.
Some recent studies suggest
that fenugreek also has a mild anti-inflammatory effect as well as beneficial for the
liver.
