Buyer Notes
Buying Fenugreek Seeds: What to Decide Before You Order
Fenugreek is sown in the cooler months and harvested around March to April, mostly in Rajasthan and Gujarat. This page covers the seed only; the leaf (kasuri methi) is a different product.
Seed size and colour
Bold, golden-yellow seed is generally preferred. Specify what you will accept.
Purity
Dust, stones and other seed contaminate fenugreek easily. Set a purity and foreign-matter limit.
End use
Spice-blend makers, retailers and extract manufacturers specify differently. Say which applies to your order.
Quality and compliance to watch
Purity, odour and moisture are the main points. Foreign seed and a musty smell are the usual reasons for dispute, and microbiology and pesticide limits apply for stricter markets.
Storage and transit
The seed is hard and stores well, but damp conditions cause mould and a stale odour, so dry packing matters.
