    Fenugreek

    Trigonella foenum graecum L.

    Fenugreek is widely grown in India, especially in Rajasthan and Gujarat. The seeds smell like maple due to sotolon. They are bitter at first, then sweet. Galactomannans contribute soluble fiber; 4-hydroxyisoleucine and saponins are also present. Leaves (methi) are eaten fresh or dried. And seeds are roasted, cracked, or ground for spice mixes, pickles, and traditional foods. Proper roasting softens bitterness and deepens flavor

    More Information

    Methi Seeds – Ayurvedic Digestive & Blood Sugar Support

    Fenugreek is a cool-season annual crop grown primarily across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. It is sown in October–November and harvested between March and April, maturing in around 80–100 days.

    The crop thrives in well-drained loamy soils across low to moderate rainfall regions. It is frost-tolerant and generally requires little to no pesticide use, making it a relatively low-maintenance crop. Waterlogging is the primary concern to avoid, and powdery mildew is the main disease risk to watch for.

    After harvest, plants are threshed and seeds dried before storage. An acre typically yields 480–600 kg of seed.
