Herbs - Fenugreek Seed Powder | Organic

Description
Also known as goat’s horn, bird's foot and Greek clover, fenugreek is a popular culinary spice in the cuisines of the Mediterranean and Indian subcontinent.

Powdered, the seed is used as a spice to season. It is also combined with water to make a paste for use as a polstice. The bittersweet flavor and maple-like aroma of fenugreek seed is due to the presence of sotolone, which is also found in authentic maple syrup. Another component of fenugreek is 4-hydroxyisoleucine, an amino acid involved in regulating glucose metabolism.
