As a microgreen fenugreek has a powerful flavor and a little goes a long way.
Nutty and maple-ly in flavor with a slight balancing earthiness, the leaves, usually braised, are served as a green side dish much like spinach greens.
Fenugreek, commonly known as Methi, is a rich source of protein, minerals, vitamins and fibre. Fenugreek contains phytonutrients such as choline and from ancient times, has shown to contain antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antidiabetic, hypocholesteremia, hypoglycemic and lactation-induced properties as well as antibacterial, says Affrin Noor, Chief Dietitian and Nutritionist, Fortis La Femme Hospital, Bangalore.
