Organic fenugreek seeds

The fenugreek Trigonella foenum graecum belongs to the Fabaceae family. It is one of the most common Indian spices, particularly recognised for its culinary, medicinal and aromatic properties. Fenugreek (fenugreek or methi) is recognised for its health-promoting properties, such as anti-inflammatory. The gel-forming property of fenugreek may help to prevent the development of ulcers.
Fenugreek has long been known in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been used for a number of indications, including to stimulate digestion, and as a general tonic to improve metabolism and health.

In Ayurveda, fenugreek is used to improve digestion, support elimination and calm the stomach. Its warming properties have been used to balance moisture in the lungs. Some studies confirm its possible use as a natural lactation remedy, and in ancient times it was prescribed as an aphrodisiac. Fenugreek was even added to poultices to help soothe aching, stiff or swollen joints.

Caution
Do not take large amounts over a long period of time if you have health problems or are taking medication. Gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, diarrhoea, bloating and possible allergic reactions may sometimes occur.
Not recommended for pregnant women.

Usage
Fenugreek seeds are used both whole and ground. Fenugreek combines well with other spices such as caraway seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, ginger.
Grind fenugreek seeds into a powder and use in vegetable and pulse dishes and snacks. It has a bitter taste, so it is important not to overheat fenugreek seeds and to add them to dishes at the end of cooking. Their sweet aroma and flavour is said to be reminiscent of maple syrup, caramel and hay.
Fenugreek seeds can be sprouted and used in salads.

Make a digestive tea:
1 -1,5 tsp. sp. soak fenugreek seeds/teaspoons overnight in 2/3 cup cold or warm water. Take in the morning before meals, topping up with warm water before consumption (do not drink the cold drink in the morning on an empty stomach).
Eat the seeds or powder (crushed into a paste before eating or simply chewed well) with the water in which the seeds were soaked. Ayurvedic medicine suggests that fenugreek can help improve digestion and protect the body from absorbing cholesterol in this way.
After 2 to 3 months of regular use, it is ideal to take a break of 1-2 weeks to allow the body to rest. Start with a lower dose and gradually increase.
For those with health complaints, do not consume for more than 4-6 weeks.
Due to its warming nature and bitter taste, this seed is excellent for stimulating the appetite and aiding digestion by strengthening the central digestive “fire”.
