About Fenugreek Seeds (Whole & Powder)

India is the world's largest fenugreek producer and exporter, with Rajasthan accounting for the majority of commercial production. Fenugreek seeds are a dual-purpose ingredient — used in both food manufacturing as a spice and flavour ingredient, and in nutraceutical processing as a saponin and diosgenin source.

SV Botanica sources machine-cleaned whole fenugreek seeds directly from Rajasthan farming networks, supplying to both food manufacturing specifications (visual grade, moisture, ash) and nutraceutical specifications (where diosgenin content may be relevant for extraction customers). Ground fenugreek powder is available in multiple mesh sizes.

Why Indian Fenugreek

India's Rajasthan fenugreek commands premium pricing in EU and US markets for its consistent bold seed size, low extraneous matter, and clean bitter-maple aromatic profile. Direct India sourcing provides significant cost advantage over re-export origin pricing.

Origin & Traceability

Sourced from Rajasthan (Nagaur, Sirohi districts) — India's primary fenugreek belt. Machine-cleaned and graded at APEDA-certified facilities. Full lot traceability provided.
