Fenugreek leaves, raw

Fenugreek leaves are the edible leaves of the fenugreek plant, and the figures here describe them raw. They provide carbohydrate and protein, as well as vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 4.8g of carbohydrate, 4.6g of protein, 91mg of vitamin C and 8.8mg of iron. Their fat content is low.

Vitamin C supports normal skin and connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. The amount of iron absorbed from plant foods varies with the other foods eaten at the same meal. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
