Fenugreek Seed Whole

Fenugreek is an annual herb from the Fabaceae family, easily identified by its trifoliate leaves and small yellow flowers. The name “fenugreek” comes from the Latin for “Greek hay,” reflecting its early use as fodder for cattle.

Over time, this versatile plant has found its way into kitchens around the world, becoming a staple in South Asian cuisine. These little seeds are prized for their strong aroma and distinct bitter taste, used whole or ground into a powder to add a unique flavour to a wide variety of dishes.

How are fenugreek seeds used?

Whole fenugreek seeds are a culinary delight. Toast them lightly to unlock their sweet, nutty flavour, or grind them to release their full aromatic potential. These seeds are a must-have in curry powders and chutneys, where they add a complex, slightly bitter edge that makes dishes unforgettable. They also shine in pickles, stews, and lentil dishes, bringing depth and richness to these recipes.

For a milder taste, bake the seeds to mellow their bitterness, allowing them to be used whole or ground in various recipes.

It’s also popular amongst horse owners, who use it to entice fussy eaters to eat their regular food and help maintain their horses’ condition.
