Fenugreek seeds are small, hard, yellowish-brown seeds with a distinctive oblong shape and a somewhat angular surface. They have a strong, earthy aroma and a slightly bitter taste, with notes of maple syrup and a hint of sweetness when toasted or cooked.
Fenugreek seeds are widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines, often as a spice in curries, pickles, and spice blends like garam masala. In Indian dishes, they are sometimes dry roasted to enhance their flavor. Beyond culinary uses, fenugreek seeds are known for their medicinal benefits, including aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and supporting lactation in nursing mothers. They are also used in traditional remedies for diabetes and cholesterol management.
