Fenugreek (seeds)

Description

Fenugreek (seeds) are small, hard seeds with a yellow-brown color and a slightly exotic, bittersweet flavor with hints of caramel or maple syrup, which gain a more nutty aroma when toasted. They are rich in protein, fiber, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, as well as bioactive compounds (saponins, diosgenin), which support digestion, blood sugar control, and lipid profile, while providing valuable macro and micronutrients. In the kitchen, fenugreek seeds are used in spice blends, curries, marinades, breads, and stews; when toasted or ground, they mellow bitterness and release an intense aroma, pairing well with onions, tomatoes, and yogurt. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place; for longer freshness, you can keep them in the fridge or freeze them.
