Fenugreek Seeds

At Souk Marina, we specialize in the export of premium-quality fenugreek seeds, also known as Methi in India.

Fenugreek is a slender annual herb belonging to the pea family (Fabaceae), prized both for its culinary and medicinal properties. Historically significant, fenugreek was used by ancient Egyptians and is even mentioned in medical texts found in their tombs. While its early applications were largely medicinal, it has since become a staple in global spice markets.

The botanical name Trigonella foenum-graecum reflects its characteristics—Trigonella refers to the angular shape of the seeds, and foenum-graecum means “Greek hay,” highlighting its traditional use as cattle feed.
