Known since ancient times as a fodder plant, Fenugreek takes its name from _foenum-graecum_which means 'Greek hay' in Latin, because of its use during the Roman Empire to feed livestock. More than 1,500 years before our time, the Egyptians extracted aromatic substances from this plant to embalm the dead and purify the air in living quarters and at sacred sites.

Originally from the Middle East, fenugreek spread over time to the Mediterranean region, Lebanon, China and India, where it is particularly appreciated as a spice. It is used in local spice blends such as Sambar Curry, Indian Vadouvan and Tandoori masala.
