Fenugreek Powder

Listing ID #3835998

Fenugreek seeds derive from the Fenugreek plant, a herb, similar to clover, that is native to the Mediterranean region, the Middle East, Southern Europe, and Western Asia. The plant grows to about one to two feet in height with light green trifoliate (three part) leaves and white flowers. The seeds come from a long and slender bean pod, each pod has around 20 seeds. The seeds, which look more like stones, have a bitter, maple taste when eaten raw but roasting them lessens the bitterness. Alternative names for the seeds include bird's foot and Greek hay seed. The seeds can be consumed as is, but are also ground into powders, put into capsules, and made into tea.
