Fenugreek is the small, hard, amber-brown seed of a leguminous herb. It has a gently bitter, nutty taste with a warm maple aroma; toasting or blooming in oil softens the bitterness and heightens sweetness. Commonly used in curry bases, pickles, and spice blends, it is sold whole or ground.\n\nCultivated since antiquity around the Mediterranean and in South Asia, fenugreek is now grown widely in India, North Africa, and the Middle East. It figures prominently in Indian, Ethiopian, and Middle Eastern cuisines; seeds are threshed, dried, and cleaned before packing.
