Fenugreek  (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an annual plant in the family  Fabaceae, with leaves consisting of three small obovate to oblong leaflets. It is cultivated worldwide as a semiarid crop, and its seeds are a common ingredient in dishes from the  Indian subcontinent.
Fenugreek is used as an  herb  (dried or fresh leaves),  spice  (seeds), and vegetable (fresh leaves,  sprouts, and  microgreens).  Sotolon  is the chemical responsible for fenugreek's distinctive sweet smell.  Cuboid-shaped, yellow- to amber-colored fenugreek seeds are frequently encountered in the  cuisines  of the Indian subcontinent, used both whole and powdered.
Constituents of fenugreek seeds include  flavonoids,  alkaloids,  coumarins, vitamins and  saponins; the most prevalent is  trigonelline  and coumarins include  cinnamic acidand  scopoletin.
