Grown for seed production, L-29 produces larger seeds than regular fenugreek. Besides, like all varieties of this legume, it is used for kidney ailments, mouth ulcers, boils, bronchitis, and infection of the tissues beneath the surface of the skin (cellulitis), tuberculosis, chronic coughs, chapped lips, baldness, cancer, Parkinson's disease, and exercise performance. Some men also use this legume for hernia, erectile dysfunction, male infertility, and other male problems. Ground to a fine powder, fenugreek seeds are also a favorite ingredient in Indian curries, but they can also enhance any bland dish. They can even be roasted and ground to make coffee.
