Why US Importers Choose Pakistani Fenugreek Seed

US importers carry the compliance burden under FSMA: the Foreign Supplier Verification Program makes you responsible for proving your overseas supplier meets US food-safety standards. Spice houses, supplement makers and flavour companies in New Jersey, Texas, California, Illinois and Georgia work with Kohenoor International because:

The US Fenugreek Market: Spices, Supplements, Flavours and Feed

The United States imports thousands of tonnes of fenugreek seed a year and is the single largest destination in global trade, with the biggest volumes entering through New York/Newark, Houston, Savannah and Los Angeles/Long Beach. The spice industry is the largest user: national spice houses and the Indian-grocery distribution networks of New Jersey, Texas, Illinois and California buy whole methi for curry powders, chai masala, pickling spices and ethnic retail packs serving more than five million South Asian Americans. Flavour companies use fenugreek extract as the principal flavouring of imitation maple syrup and in caramel, butterscotch and rum notes.

The dietary-supplement industry is the fastest-growing buyer: fenugreek is one of the most common botanicals in lactation, testosterone-support and blood-sugar formulas, and US contract manufacturers and extractors buy whole seed for standardised extracts and galactomannan fibre. Horse-feed and pet-food makers use fenugreek as a leading palatant. India supplies most US volume, with Egypt and Turkey secondary; after repeated FDA import alerts and Salmonella recalls on Indian-origin spices, US importers are qualifying Pakistan as a documented second origin at the same price level.
