It grows to two feet in height with brownish seeds contained in sickle shaped pods. It is used worldwide as a culinary spice as well as a medicinal herb to soothe the stomach and help maintain blood sugar levels. The seeds are rich in protein and contain about 50% fiber and 25% soothing mucilage. Fenugreek is one of the primary supplements used to support type II diabetics or noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Most NIDDM patients typically have enough insulin but it is not used effectively. Research as to the cause seems to indicate high levels of body fat, too many calorie consumed from refined foods, lack of polyunsaturated fats and chromium deficiencies. Fenugreek Seed helps by not only reducing blood sugar levels with its high concentrations of phytochemicals, but it has also helped reduce low density cholesterol's and triacylglycerols.
