Fenugreek is a little seed that packs a big punch. A healing herb, a food, and a spice rolled into one, its centuries-old history and popularity extend from ancient times to today; being among the oldest medicinal plants, Fenugreek seeds were even found in Tutankhamen’s tomb. Also called "Greek hay" or "methi" in India, the golden-brown fenugreek seeds originated in southern Europe, the Mediterranean, and parts of Asia. Its flavour widely described as being sweet and nutty with strong notes of maple, it is often used as flavouring in artificial maple syrup. Fenugreek adds a complex sweetness to spice mixes and provides a background note which makes other flavours seem fuller; this ability to “round out” other flavours makes it unique in the spice world and is best used in dishes that call for long cooking.
✓ Popular aromatic flavouring in many South Asian cuisines
✓ Though bitter tasting when consumed raw, fenugreek lends a delicious mellow taste once fried or pan-roasted
