British. Sold in bunches in Indian and Middle Eastern stores. The cloverlike green leaves of the fenugreek plant, spicily aromatic with an edge of bitterness, are popular all over India and the Middle East, eaten raw in salads and cooked in all kinds of vegetable and meat dishes. Dried is all right in stews, curries and braises.
