Product Overview

Upper Egypt Fenugreek Premium

Egyptian fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) from Upper Egypt is valued for its robust maple-like aroma, high dietary fiber content, and rich concentration of steroidal saponins — particularly diosgenin, a precursor used in pharmaceutical synthesis. Egypt's dry, warm climate and sandy soils produce fenugreek seeds with intense color, high protein content, and consistently elevated bioactive compound levels.

HS Herbs supplies whole fenugreek seeds, split seeds, and finely ground fenugreek powder. Our fenugreek is mechanically cleaned, de-stoned, and optically sorted for uniform golden-yellow color. Each lot is analyzed for protein, fiber, moisture, saponin content, and complete microbiology — meeting food-grade and nutraceutical specifications.

Applications include curry powders and spice blends, Ethiopian berbere, maple flavoring, dietary supplements for blood sugar support, animal feed supplements, and pharmaceutical steroid precursor extraction. HS Herbs exports fenugreek to food manufacturers, supplement companies, and pharmaceutical extractors worldwide.
