Description
Fenugreek seeds are a deeply aromatic spice with a warm, slightly bitter flavour and a rich culinary character. Also known as methi, fenugreek is widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, North African and Mediterranean cooking, especially in spice blends, curries, chutneys, vegetable dishes and slow-cooked meals.
These whole fenugreek seeds offer a distinctive aroma with notes of caramel, liquorice, celery and Madras-style curry. Their flavour is bold, earthy and slightly bitter, making them ideal for dishes that need depth, warmth and a more complex savoury base.
Use the seeds whole during cooking, or lightly toast and grind them into a powder for direct seasoning. Fenugreek works especially well in tomato-based sauces, creamy sauces, stews, lentil dishes, potatoes, spinach, aubergine, meat, fish and vegetable recipes.

How to Use Fenugreek Seeds
Add whole fenugreek seeds to stews, sauces and slow-cooked dishes during cooking. For a more intense flavour, lightly toast the seeds in a dry pan before grinding them into powder. Use sparingly, as fenugreek has a naturally strong and slightly bitter taste.
