Fenugreek is one of the oldest recorded medicinal herbs, and has been regarded as a cure for just about every ailment known to man. Fenugreek has a most beneficial action on cleansing the blood. A wide range of uses were found for fenugreek in ancient times. Medicinally it was used for the treatment of wounds, abscesses, arthritis, bronchitis, and digestive problems. Traditional Chinese herbalists used it for kidney problems and conditions affecting the male reproductive tract. Fenugreek seeds can be sprouted loose in a jar or strainer/colander with small gaps, my preference is to mix Fenugreek sprouts with Alfalfa sprouts(keeps the alfalfa from clumping). They can also be grown so the green leaves become larger by growing them in our shallow self watering pots. They can also be grown in larger pots or planter box using the young leaves in salads or as a steamed leaf vegetable and added to soups and stews. Leaves of young plants are very tasty, resembling the flavour of fresh peas. Comes with sprouting instructions.
