TheNewSusie 471 Posted March 9, 2014 Anyone out there heard of this or take it? It's used in middle eastern recipes for baking. I make what us Arabs call hilbeh and it's not healthy at all. Tastes great though with all that simple Syrup soaked in the little cookie cakes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdillon 355 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Huh. I did a little reading and there were all kinds of benefits listed with it. I wonder if there are different forms that are healthier than others or if it's all in how it is used Edited March 9, 2014 by jdillon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaddyMarie 291 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) I took fenugreek when I was nursing my babies cause it stimulated milk production. What do you want to take it for? Edited March 9, 2014 by DaddyMarie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maralinga 4 Posted March 9, 2014 I use the fenugeek seeds in Indian recipes as part of the masala. I haven't tried using the leaves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
