Fenugreek seed is a very hard seed that, when ground, adds a nutty flavor and hints of maple. Common in curries and flatbreads of India, and also a component of the Ethiopian spice mix Berbere, fenugreek can be toasted prior to use to enhance the nutty flavor and aroma of the seed. Add a bit of the ground seed to your next pecan pie to appreciate the maple flavor.

Fenugreek seed is renowned for its robust nutty flavor enriched with subtle hints of maple. This hard seed, when ground, transforms dishes with its unique taste profile. It's a key player in the spice mix Berbere and a variety of Indian curries and flatbreads.

Fenugreek infuses a nutty and slightly sweet maple essence into our dishes. We love it in homemade curries, where it adds depth and complexity.
