Fenugreek

These hard, yellowish brown, angular seeds are available whole, crushed, or roasted and ground. Fenugreek has a strong, aromatic, and bittersweet flavor. The leaves are used as an herb (kasoori methi). Fenugreek is cultivated worldwide in semi-arid areas. Fenugreek seeds are often paired with mustard seeds in tempering oil and are much in demand during pickling season.
