Fenugreek seeds 1kg
Our Fenugreek Seeds are a cornerstone of Indian and Middle Eastern cooking, known for their unique bitter-sweet, nutty, and slightly maple-like flavour. These hard, amber-coloured seeds are essential for creating authentic curries, pickles, and spice blends, and are prized for their traditional wellness properties.
Unlock the deep, savoury potential of this ancient seed:
Spice Pastes & Curries: Lightly toast and grind to form the base of Indian curry powders and pastes. A key ingredient in South Indian sambar and Madras curry.
Pickling: A classic whole spice for adding a bitter-sweet depth to pickling brines and chutneys.
Sprouting: Can be sprouted and used as a nutritious, bitter garnish in salads and sandwiches.
Bread & Flatbreads: A traditional ingredient in some Middle Eastern breads.
Wellness Tea: Steep a small amount (½ tsp) in hot water to make a traditional herbal tea. Note: Flavour is very strong and bitter.
How to Use:
Toasting (Essential for Cooking): Dry roast in a pan for 1-2 minutes until they darken slightly and become fragrant. This reduces bitterness and enhances their nutty, maple-like flavour. Let cool before grinding.
Grinding: Use a spice grinder to create a fine powder for curry bases.
Whole: Add directly to pickling liquids or slow-cooked dishes where they will soften and release their flavour.
A Word of Caution: Fenugreek seeds are intensely flavoured and can be very bitter if not toasted. Always use sparingly—a teaspoon is often enough for a large pot of curry.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Ingredients: 100% Whole Fenugreek Seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum)

★★★★★Fenugreek seedsVg service. Glad to find somewhere to buy these. I soak them to just sprouting and add to home made bread. Sprouted grain bread. Delicious. I also add to salads or just bread and marmite on a sandwich. Delicious & wholesome. I am trialing eating them to see if they help stabilise my blood sugar.
