Fenugreek

Fenugreek is a plant-based ingredient that is commonly used in cooking and food products. It comes from the seeds of the fenugreek plant, which is a herb that belongs to the same family as peas and beans. The seeds are small, yellow-brown in colour, and have a slightly bitter taste with a hint of sweetness.

To make fenugreek for use in food, the seeds are often dried and ground into a powder. This powder can be used as a spice to flavour dishes, especially in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Fenugreek can also be soaked and sprouted to add a fresh, slightly sweet taste to salads and sandwiches.

You may find fenugreek listed in food labels for its flavour-enhancing properties. It is often added to curries, spice blends, and pickles for its distinctive taste. Fenugreek can also be found in baked goods like bread and pastries to add a depth of flavour. Additionally, it is sometimes used in herbal teas or dietary supplements for its potential health benefits.
