About -

Bring a burst of earthy flavor to your garden with Richgrow Seeds Methi (Fenugreek) Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Trigonella foenum-graecum), ideal for home gardeners and farmers seeking versatile, nutrient-packed harvests at an unbeatable price! Known as Methi, this variety yields lush, green, aromatic leaves with a slightly bitter, nutty taste and small, golden-brown seeds with a warm, spicy aroma, perfect for fresh use in curries, flatbreads, or dried as a spice for pickles and spice blends, ready to harvest in 25–40 days for leaves and 90–110 days for seeds. Rich in vitamins A, C, iron, fiber, and antioxidants, fenugreek supports digestion, blood sugar regulation, and heart health, with seeds prized for their medicinal uses in traditional remedies. The compact, bushy plants, growing 30–50 cm tall, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in cool to mild climates, with optimal sowing in spring (February–April) or fall (September–November) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Punjab, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.5–1 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.0) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 10–15 cm apart in rows 20–30 cm wide; achieve 85% germination within 5–10 days at 15–25°C. Keep soil moist with light watering (0.5 liters per plant every 2–3 days), pinch back to promote bushy growth for leaf harvest, or allow bolting for seed production, and fertilize with organic compost every 2–3 weeks; use neem oil for pests like whiteflies or spider mites. Harvest leaves when 5–10 cm long for fresh or drying, and collect seeds when pods turn brown, with excellent shelf life for dried leaves and seeds. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (200–250 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white).
