Fenugreek – Annual

Fenugreek is also sometimes called “fenigreek” – is a highly versatile herb variety that is prized for its culinary and medicinal attributes. Use fenugreek to spice up just about any meal – particularly Mediterranean dishes. Among Fenugreek’s many ascribed medicinal attributes are helping to lower blood sugar and cholesterol and helping to raise libido. It reduces pain and cramps associated with difficult digestion, reduces intestinal gas, helps aid diarrhea, and restores the digestive system to a state of normality after a bout with diarrhea. It also aids in relief of discomfort and pain associated with a persistent cough, sore throat, ulcers and open sores in and around the mouth, and external treatment of skin irritations. It acts systemically and, when used in the treatment of diabetes, has been shown to lower blood sugars and decrease the severity of symptoms. It contains significant amounts of carbohydrates and proteins and is rich in lysine. You can take Fenugreek from heirloom fenugreek seeds in a variety of internal forms, including crushed capsules created using seed powder and brewed tea. Recommendations suggest using the herb up to three times daily, in doses of one to five grams.

Harvesting Fenugreek Seeds

Practicing proper fenugreek harvesting techniques will ensure you get all the health benefits the herb has to offer. Wait for the first hard frost during the fall season, and then look at your seed heads. The seeds should be starting to turn yellow. Use your hands to harvest the fenugreek seeds and simply snap off the husks. Wash the seeds in cool running water, and then dry them on a paper towel.
