fenugreek seeds

origin: India

A pungent, sweet earthy scent immediately reminiscent of curry. The fenugreek seeds have a slightly bitter aftertaste but toasting the seeds seems to reduce this and increase the sweetness - in fact the roasted fenugreek seeds are used in the manufacture of artificial maple syrup. The whole seeds are very hard so are usually used crushed or ground

uses: Crush and use to coat lamb to be roasted for a stunning scent and flavour.
