The pods of fenugreek, Trigonella foenum-graecum (Leguminoseae), which
grows in Southwest Asia and around the Eastern part of the Mediterranean, resemble goat's antlers. Consequently they are, according to the Doctrine of Signatures, regarded as a remedy for impotence, and were included as such already in the earliest list of Chinese medical plants. They contain, inter alia, steroidal saponins, which can be hydrolysed to diosgenin, which, in turn, can be used as a starting material for the production of som sex hormones. The roasted pods are eaten as such in many parts of the world, but can also be used as the starting point for the preparation of various dishes. According to Leunis one such dish, based on milk, was earlier served in both India and Egypt to give women a desirable corpulence. |
