Fenugreek Seed, powder
Ground fenugreek seed has a bold, pleasantly bitter flavor with a warm aroma often compared to maple. This powder is ready to blend into a dish without grinding whole seeds first.
Use a little with cumin or coriander in curries, lentils, stews and sauces. Add it early enough for its flavor to soften into the dish, tasting as you go because fenugreek can become dominant.
