Received my Fenugreek Whole Seeds, just love them!!! I use them with other seeds, toasted and put on butterflied leg of lamb and grill just delicious, thanks. This is one of the only companies that I found Fenugreek and didn’t have to purchase a big jar.

My endocrinologist told me to find some fenugreek seeds and add them to my morning yogurt or oatmeal. After and exhaustive online search, Spice Jungle had them and they were perfect! This will be my third order of these fenugreek seeds. My doctors are happy with the health benefits and I’m happy with the flavor and the way I feel. A fantastic product and a great company.

I soak them in water overnight and in the morning, I mix them up and drink the water. I heard it helps clear skin and promotes hair growth. I haven’t seen the results yet but I’ll keep trying. Beware, the seeds are really bitter.

I think the product is really good and fresh. That is why I went to whole seed rather than taking capsules, never know just what you are getting. The price is good, thank you for keeping it fresh.

The seeds arrived quickly and was packaged well. When I cooked them as instructed they did smell awful, but everything was great.
