Fenugreek leaves, raw

Fenugreek leaves are the edible leaves of the fenugreek plant, and the figures here describe them raw. They provide carbohydrate and protein, as well as vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 4.8g of carbohydrate, 4.6g of protein, 91mg of vitamin C and 8.8mg of iron. Their fat content is low.

Vitamin C supports normal skin and connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods.
