Fenugreek Seeds (میتھی دانہ)

Methi dana has held a place in every Pakistani kitchen and in traditional practice for generations. The seeds are high in soluble fibre — the type that forms a gel in water — along with iron, magnesium and manganese. Their flavour is bitter when raw and turns warm and almost maple-like when lightly roasted, which is why they appear in achar, tarka, and in the soaked-water preparation many households still use in the morning.

Key Benefits

• High in soluble fibre, which supports digestion
• Provides iron, magnesium, manganese and plant protein
• Traditionally taken as soaked methi water in the morning
• Also used traditionally in hair and scalp preparations
• Whole, cleaned seeds with nothing added

How to Use

Soak one teaspoon of seeds in a glass of water overnight and drink the water in the morning; the softened seeds can be chewed. For cooking, add them to tarka or achar, or dry-roast and grind them into a powder. Start small — methi is potent and bitter in large amounts.
