Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) belongs to the pea family (Fabaceae) and its aromatic, pod-like seeds, whole or ground into powder, add flavor to cuisine throughout South and West Asia, the Mediterranean, Central Europe, and North Africa. Its sprouts and leaves are edible as well.

Fenugreek is redolent of burnt sugar, which is why it’s used in chutneys and to make imitation maple syrup. The spice is known as “helba” in Moroccan cuisine, and it’s sometimes an ingredient of the popular Indian spice blend garam masala, along with cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, and mustard seed.

It has been ingested with the aim of inducing childbirth and easing digestive problems, as well as applied topically to help dress wounds or try to treat eczema. More recently, fenugreek has been used to help lower high cholesterol. It is worth noting that fenugreek is a source of diosgenin, a chemical compound used in the synthesis of steroid hormones, including progesterone.

A review and analysis of research into fenugreek and breast milk production noted several small studies that observed fenugreek may be mildly effective, although the evidence is largely anecdotal and more peer-reviewed studies are needed to prove its efficacy. As the NCCIH puts it: “It’s uncertain whether fenugreek can increase milk supply in breastfeeding women; studies have had mixed results.” (3)

 Can Fenugreek Help People With Type 2 Diabetes Lower Their Blood Sugar A number of studies have suggested that fenugreek may help lower high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) in people with type 2 diabetes. For instance, a small, three-year randomized, controlled, parallel study of 140 people with prediabetes published in the Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders compared people who received 10 g of fenugreek powder daily with a control group. (8) Researchers observed that people in the control group had a 4.2 times higher chance of developing diabetes compared with those who were given fenugreek.

But there is skepticism from the NCCIH, which says, “A small number of studies have suggested that fenugreek may help lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes or prediabetes, but most of these studies were not of high quality.” (3) Furthermore, in a report published in a supplement to the journal Diabetes Care, the American Diabetes Association states, “There continues to be no clear evidence of benefit from herbal or nonherbal (i.e., vitamin or mineral) supplementation for people with diabetes without underlying deficiencies.” (9)
 Is Fenugreek Good for Weight Loss  What the Research Suggests
Eating the herb might help you to feel full and therefore eat less, though there isn’t much evidence of its effectiveness. In a single-blind, randomized crossover study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research, obese participants who ate 8 g of fenugreek fiber with breakfast felt more satiated and ate less at lunch. (10) But only 18 participants took part in the study. Until more research has been done, it might be best to turn to fenugreek solely as a flavor-booster to any well-balanced weight loss regimen.

Fenugreek also contains several coumarin compounds, which can interact with blood thinners and increase the risk of bleeding. A review of clinical studies published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine explored interactions between herbs and the anticoagulant medication warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven) and concluded the interaction with fenugreek is “minor.” (12) Still, people who are taking anticoagulants, such as warfarin, should use caution when taking fenugreek.Additionally, the NCCIH cautions pregnant women against taking fenugreek: “Fenugreek is not safe for use during pregnancy in amounts greater than those found in food; its use has been linked to increased risks of birth defects in both animals and people.

Also, fenugreek is a legume plant and research indicates that people who are allergic to peanuts should exercise caution with ingesting fenugreek, according to an article published in the Journal of Proteomics.

Some people apply fenugreek paste topically as a beautifying face or hair mask. It may not be backed up by hard research, but anything you do that feels pampering is likely to bring out your inner glow (although if you have a peanut allergy it’s better to forgo this indulgence).

Fenugreek capsules and teas are used throughout the world by nursing women. But the NCCIH points out more studies are needed before these possible benefits are confirmed.
