Organic Fenugreek Seeds
Fenugreek, or methi seeds have a mild butterscotch smell which is released when the seeds are crushed. When tasted raw, the flavour is like mildly curried maple syrup; sweet and nutty but slightly bitter. Dry roasting the seeds intensifies the aroma and the flavours, and despite their bitterness, cooking with fenugreek seeds adds a distinctive and exotic flavour to soups, curries and stews. Sprouted seeds are a great addition to salads and stir fries.
Cooking with Fenugreek Seeds
Dry roasted seeds can be used in salads and stir-fry meals, but don’t overdo it. Most recipes only require a quarter of a teaspoon. These irregular-shaped seeds also have a thickening effect on sauces, are used in the manufacture of imitation maple syrup and are popular as a coffee substitute in the Middle East. A popular spice blend thought to originate in Bengal is ‘pancha phoran’, made up of whole seeds of mustard, nigella, cumin, fenugreek and fennel.
Fenugreek Sprouts is a quick easy and healthy way to get the benefits of fenugreek.
