Fenugreek seed

Fenugreek seed is a spice that comes from the fenugreek plant, which is part of the pea family. The small, yellow-brown seeds are commonly used in cooking for their distinct flavour and aroma.

To make fenugreek seed ready for use, the seeds are harvested from the plant and dried. They are then either used whole or ground into a powder. The seeds can be added to dishes whole for a slightly nutty taste or ground to release a more intense flavour.

Fenugreek seed is often included in food products for its unique taste profile, which can add depth and complexity to dishes. It is commonly found in Indian dishes like curries, spice blends, and chutneys, as well as in bread and pickles. Additionally, it is used in some beverages and even in some cosmetics and skincare products.
