Fenugreek seeds are small, yellowish-brown seeds with a slightly sweet, maple syrup-like flavor. They are a member of the legume family and are native to the Mediterranean region, southern Europe, and western Asia. Fenugreek seeds have been used in cooking and medicine for centuries.

Fenugreek seeds are a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals, including manganese, iron, and magnesium. They also contain saponins, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
