Fenugreek Seeds

Fenugreek is a lesser known spice from the pea family and has many culinary uses.
The flavor of fenugreek is sweet yet bitter with a hint of maple and pairs well with cardamom, cloves, cumin, fennel, and turmeric.. Fenugreek is commonly used in Indian curries and breads from South Asia and Ethiopia. Fenugreek can be used in pickling to enhance the flavor of meats and vegetables. Use caution until you become familiar with fenugreek as too much can make a dish bitter. Dry roasting these seeds will bring out an aromatic, sweet flavor.
