Three Very Different Buyer Groups
Fenugreek is unusual in serving three separate markets with different specifications. Tell us which you are, because it determines lot selection and what gets tested.
Nutraceutical buyers should never work from a culinary-grade specification. If standardised active content matters, it must be tested and stated on the contract — appearance tells you nothing about it.

Buyer Questions
Does fenugreek specification change by end use?
Substantially. Spice and culinary buyers work to purity, colour and volatile oil. Nutraceutical buyers need standardised active content such as saponins or 4-hydroxyisoleucine tested by HPLC. Gum extraction buyers focus on galactomannan content. Tell us which application you are serving, because a culinary-grade specification tells a nutraceutical buyer nothing useful.
Can saponin content be tested?
Yes, by HPLC on request. This is normally specified by nutraceutical and supplement buyers who need standardised active content rather than culinary-grade material. State the requirement at enquiry stage so the correct lot is selected and the assay is booked against your batch.
What is the difference between fenugreek seed and kasuri methi?
They are different products from the same plant. Fenugreek seed is the dried seed used in spice blends, extraction and nutraceuticals. Kasuri methi is the dried leaf, used purely as a culinary herb with a distinct aroma. They trade separately and are not substitutes.
What HS code applies to fenugreek seeds?
Fenugreek seeds are exported from India under HS Code 0910.99, covering other spices not elsewhere specified. We confirm the applicable code at order stage based on form and end-use declaration, and declare it on all shipping documents.
What purity level should I specify?
Commercial grades run from 99 percent to sortex-cleaned 99.5 percent. If you are using the seed without further cleaning, specify sortex. If you operate your own cleaning line or are extracting, a standard machine-cleaned grade is usually more economical.
Can I get a sample with a COA before bulk?
Yes. Sample orders carry the same NABL-accredited Certificate of Analysis standard as bulk shipments, including any assay you have specified, so you can verify against your own requirements before committing.
