Annam Fenugreek Powder is a finely milled spice made from dried fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum). The powder has a warm yellowish-brown color and a distinctive aroma that is slightly bitter, nutty and mildly maple-like when roasted. Fenugreek seeds are a traditional ingredient in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines and are valued for their flavor as well as their nutritional profile. They contain soluble fiber, plant protein, iron, magnesium, manganese and B vitamins, and naturally occurring compounds such as steroidal saponins and 4-hydroxyisoleucine that contribute to their characteristic properties. Annam Fenugreek Powder is suitable for use in curries, dals, pickles, masalas and bread doughs, and is also used in herbal preparations, hair and skin masks, and warming teas where a slightly bitter, aromatic note is desired. As with other herbal products, benefits reported from traditional use and scientific studies are varied; individual responses differ, and it should not replace medical advice or prescribed treatments.

To use Annam Fenugreek Powder in cooking, start with a small amount because the powder can be quite bitter; typically add about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per pot-sized dish and adjust to taste, or bloom it briefly in hot oil to mellow the flavor before adding other ingredients. For a simple fenugreek tea, stir 1/2 to 1 teaspoon into hot water and steep 5–10 minutes, then strain. For topical use as a hair or face pack, mix 1–2 teaspoons of the powder with water, yogurt or oil to make a paste, apply as needed and rinse after 10–30 minutes, testing first on a small skin area for sensitivity. Store the powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication (especially for blood sugar or blood clotting), or have a known allergy to legumes, consult a healthcare professional before use.
