Abstract
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-ppaecum L») family Leguminosae is an erect annual herb widely cultivated in Egypt.
The protein content of the seeds varies between 20 and 32^, it is believed to be a good supplement for cereals because of its high lysine and tryptophan con¬tent, whereas cysteine and methionine are only present to a low extent. Thus fenugreek can provide the essen¬tial amino acids which are known to be deficient in ce-
(1),(2) reals .
Fenugreek has been cultivated in the Mediterranean >a, in North Africa, in India, in Near East, and Abys¬sinia. The principal exporting countries include India, l^ance, Lebanon, Egypt and Argentina.
