The seeds compose ample amounts of soluble dietary fiber. Soaking them in water softens their outer coat and turns it slimy (mucilaginous). 100 g of seeds provide 24.6 g or over 65% of dietary fiber.
The fiber content helps to lower blood LDL-cholesterol levels by inhibiting bile salts re-absorption in the colon. They also bind to toxins in the food and contribute to protecting the colon mucosa from cancers.
Fenugreek seeds has facilitator action on insulin secretion. Besides, fiber in them slow down the rate of glucose absorption in the intestines and thus help better regulate blood sugar levels. Fenugreek seeds are therefore one of the recommended food ingredients in the diabetic diet.
This prized spice is an excellent source of minerals like copper, potassium, calcium, iron, selenium, zinc, manganese, and magnesium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps control heart rate and blood pressure by countering action on sodium. Iron is essential for red blood cell production and as a co-factor for cytochrome-oxidases enzymes.
