Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores fenugreek at a serving of 1 tsp seeds / small culinary amount; at large amounts of seeds or sprouted fenugreek it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
