List of Ingredients

fenugreek seed

 

Fenugreek's nutty and slightly bitter flavor combines the taste of celery and maple.  
     
Used mainly in Middle Eastern cooking.  Fenugreek is popular in most curries and chutneys.  It enhances meats, poultry, and marinated vegetables.
    
Fenugreek originated in the Mediterranean region during ancient times and is among the oldest "medicinal" herbs.  It was prescribed for everything from tuberculosis to flagging sexual desire.      
      
In 1875 it was a major ingredient in "THE GREATEST MEDICAL DISCOVERY SINCE THE DAWN OF HISTORY"  or so claimed Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable compound.  This concoction was a remedy for "female complaints" and contained about 18% alcohol too.
      
Modern wisdom has more specific uses for fenugreek such as relieving intestinal gas and there seems to be some data supporting the premise.
