Buy Fenugreek – Seeds & Extracts in Tested Quality

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an annual plant from the legume family (Fabaceae). Used above all are the small, angular seeds, which botanically belong to the legumes and have traditionally had their place in Ayurvedic as well as oriental cuisine. In this category, you'll find fenugreek products from Scheunengut – from tested raw material, vegan and bottled in Germany.

Origin & Extraction

The plant originally comes from the eastern Mediterranean and the Near East and is now cultivated in many warmer regions. For supplements, the ripe seeds are harvested, dried and, depending on the product, ground or further processed into an extract. The seeds naturally contain mucilage, bitter compounds and the alkaloid trigonelline.

Standardisation & Format

Fenugreek is available as seed powder, in capsules or as a standardised extract. High-quality extracts are adjusted to a defined content of saponins and declared transparently. In practice, fenugreek is often combined with other plant compounds such as fennel. With powder and capsule forms, look out for clear information on the serving amount.
