Sprouts have a nutritional advantage because the sprouting process enhances their nutritional content and digestibility. Fenugreek seeds, which are actually legumes, sprout when they're soaked in warm water. They make a nutritious addition to salads, soups and other meals. A typical serving is 1 to 2 cups depending on the meal. Fenugreek sprouts contain various nutrients but are particularly rich in fibre, protein and iron.

Fenugreek from the Orient is considered a herb and can also make herb tea that dissolves mucous. Sprouts do the same thing as well as providing other natural enzymes and nutrients. The Fenugreek seed can be sprouted. Fenugreek can also be made into a tea or taken in capsule form and is a herb.
