Fenugreek seed is a small, hard, golden-brown seed from the legume family, used as a spice and flavouring agent across South Asian, Middle Eastern and North African cuisines. The seeds are typically used whole or ground in small quantities — as a component of spice blends, curry bases or pickles — so per-100g figures reflect the concentrated nutritional profile of the raw seed rather than a typical serving. Per 100 g, fenugreek seeds provide 323 kcal, 23 g of protein, 6.4 g of fat, 58.4 g of carbohydrates and a notably high 24.6 g of dietary fibre. They are a meaningful source of potassium (770 mg), magnesium (191 mg), phosphorus (296 mg) and folate (57 mcg) per 100 g. Fenugreek seeds are compatible with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo and Mediterranean dietary patterns.
