Description
Botanical Name: Trigonella foenum-graecum
Ground fenugreek seed carries one of the most intriguing signature flavours, a warm, earthy aroma with a delicate bitterness and almost maple-like sweetness that blossoms once cooked. Treasured across the Mediterranean, Middle East and Indian subcontinent, fenugreek brings a distinctive depth and complexity to curries, slow-cooked vegetables, spice blends and rustic breads.
Spice Zen certified organic ground fenugreek seeds are freshly ground in small batches at our gluten-free Sydney facility, to preserve its natural volatile oils and full aromatic character. The result is a warmly fragrant, gently bitter, beautifully rounded spice with an earthy texture that melts seamlessly into cooking. Immediately sealed in recyclable amber glass jars, it retains its bold aroma and characteristic savoury-sweet sharpness.
A little goes a long way, this ground fenugreek seeds offers depth, warmth and unmistakable character to both traditional recipes and modern cooking.

Wellness Note
Across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Indian cuisines, fenugreek seed has long been appreciated for its warm aroma, gentle bitterness and its role in comforting, flavour-deep dishes. In Ayurveda, fenugreek (methi dana) is considered warming and grounding, traditionally used to balance Vata and Kapha, and enjoyed in moderate amounts for Pitta when added to cooked dishes.
