Abstract

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum greacum L.), 2n=16 popularly known as “Methi” is an important seed spice crop grown in India during Rabi season. Fenugreek seed has both food and medicinal value particularly against digestive disorders. Being a leguminous crop, the root nodules enrich the soil with atmospheric nitrogen. The importance of fenugreek seed has further increased due to the presence of alkaloids ‘diosgenin’ and ‘trigonellin’ having pharmaceutical use. It is one of the crops in which both leaves as well as seed are consumed in one or the other form
