All About Fenugreek
Botanical Name: Trigonella foenum-graecumPlant Family: Pea / Bean (Fabaceae)Origin: Eastern Mediterranean
Cultivation: India, Turkey, Baltic region, South America
AKA: Greek hayseed, Goat’s horn, Methi
This is a spice that you’ve probably eaten - but didn’t know it.
- Staple of Indian spice blends, like Panch phoron, curry powders
- Added to meat dry rubs
- It smells like a cross between maple syrup, butterscotch and browned onions.
- Used as a component of artificial maple syrup.
- Seed is impossibly hard, and can only be used if ground first.
- Sometimes toasting before grinding releases an extra flavour boost.
Goes great in chickpea soups and stews, chutneys, grilled lamb
Enhances the deep savoury notes of tomato based dishes, but you’ll want to makes sure to add an acid to cut through the sweetness that fenugreek imparts.
Often paired with cumin, mace, star anise
**Some people can have an allergic reaction to Fenugreek - especially if you are allergic to legumes.

Hey glen Am from india
Good video. See my comment below, as to why I am here... lol
If you soak a handful of the seeds in a medium bowl of water covered over night until you can squish the seed between your fingers easily, you can use the water after you strain it as a toner for your face for acne and Oily skin and if you use it as a pre-rinse in your hair and leave it in before you wash or condition your hair, it helps with hair growth and shiny hair.
Thank you
I will definitely try this. I found this video because, like the guy says, IMPOSSIBLY hard. I couldn't even grind them in a coffee grinder. I bought some seeds years ago, gave up trying to use them...but now here I am again, with a mortar and pestle now. Never say die! lol
Very good in bread!
Great video. So interesting about the artificial maple!
Excellent! Thank you so much for this informative video on fenugreek.
Thank you💙 GREAT REVIEW!
That's interesting that you mentioned fenugreek is used for artificial maple flavorings. I was just about to comment that the smell of it always made me think of maple syrup.
Thank you for sharing, good video great info
1:49 Background player. I like this term. I like to know what role these spices play. Is it a leading spice, a background player, a combo spice, an overnight specialist. Very cool. Spices are like a foreign language to so many of us. I think it's the most intimidating part about cooking! Understanding spices is where it really shows your mastery of cooking. I'm a rookie and didn't even know what fenugreek was until this video lol.
It also makes really good pickles. I put 1 teaspoon (whole seeds) per 8 oz jar.
I grow it and eat the sprouts very nice in wraps stirfrys or on its own health benefits amazing 😍
How much in francs CFA and were can it be found
In Arabic it's called Hilba. Used as tea. Available in all coffee shops, and used daily. More importantly, it helps getting and maintaining big Bonners.

Fenugreek is used in Ethiopian injera.
Right
I never associated it with India but Greece because it's called fenuGREEK. 😅
Smells like ginseng
Looks like nuts or maybe tonsil stones 🤢. How does it taste?
It's the really rich "curry flavor" that I guess most of us associate with Indian food, kind of similar to cumin, but not quite... It's a must when cooking Indian food! Delicious!! 😛👍
