Fenugreek is a plant native to the Mediterranean region, known for its aromatic seeds and leaves. The seeds are small, yellow-brown, and have a slightly bitter taste, often used as a spice in cooking, particularly in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. The leaves can be used fresh or dried, adding flavor to various dishes.
In addition to its culinary uses, fenugreek is also valued for its potential health benefits. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, and some studies suggest it may help with digestion, blood sugar control, and inflammation. However, more research is needed to fully understand its effects.
