Fenugreek has a long history of use in ancient Egypt, mixed in with maize to make pita-like bread. Fenugreek’s flavour is described as, somewhat sweet and slightly bitter, with an earthy background. It is an essential ingredient in curry powder and Chinese five spice mixes.


How to Use:

Fenugreek seeds can be used whole or ground, and are traditionally added to curries, soups, cured meats, pickles, chutney and pita bread. They are delicious with sautéed greens, especially spinach or cabbage. These seeds can be steeped in hot water to make a herbal infusion, or added to other herbal tea blends.

Product Description

Fenugreek seeds are the ripe fruit obtained from the small fenugreek plant and are a member of the legume family. The small hard seeds have a yellowish caramel colour and a bitter sweet and nutty flavour with a pungent aroma. The seeds, when dry, are very hard and difficult to grind. However, if you soak the seeds in water overnight or cook the seeds in water the seeds disslove into a soft paste. Their subtle bitter taste lends them for use most extensively in Indian curries but also in savoury sauces and vegetable dishes in Mediterranean cuisine.
