Výtažky semen pískavice modré

Fenugreek je pradávná výživná rostlina a koření a patří do čeledi luštěnin. Fenugreek je jednoletý a až 60 centimetrů vysoký. Název fenugreek se odvozuje od latinského slova foenum-graecum (=řecky seno). Další označení jsou pískavice modrá, jetel kravský roh, kozí roh, jelení zázračné zelí.
Dánská společnost má patentovanou specifickou metodu k získání aktivních látek ze semen pískavice, které mohou být použity v potravinách. Společnost hledá malé a střední podniky pro technickou spolupráci, dále hledá dietní sestry, odborníky na výživu (domovy pro seniory a nemocnice) a společnosti, které vyrábí jogurty pro započetí spolupráce v této oblasti.
