Fenugreek seeds are the seeds of the fenugreek plant, used as a spice in cooking. The supplied composition data are drawn from literature sources and do not specify a preparation method. They provide protein and fat, along with several minerals. Per 100g, they contain 24g of protein, 7.4g of fat, 23mg of iron and 170mg of magnesium.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, while magnesium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. The amount of these nutrients consumed depends on the quantity of seeds used; amounts used as a spice are generally small. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
