Organic Fenugriek Seeds Whole

Organic fenugreek seed whole is a spice that we do not encounter very often in Dutch kitchens. However, there are many ways you can use it. The spice, originally from the Mediterranean region, is today mainly used in India. Fenugreek seed whole is therefore one of the spices that is essential when preparing a traditional curry.

Organic fenugreek seed has a taste that cannot be compared to any other herb. It tastes spicy, bitter and slightly nutty. The taste is also compared to a combination of fennel and celery. The aftertaste is somewhat like mustard. The aroma is somewhat reminiscent of the smell of fresh hay. The spice is also known as Greek hay. The ancient Greeks mixed it with hay because it gave their horses a shiny coat and had a good influence on their muscle strength.
