So, what is fenugreek seed?
Fenugreek seed, also known as Methi, is a popular ingredient in Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisine. The small, golden-brown seeds have a strong, nutty flavor with a hint of bitterness, making them a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes.

They are also believed to have medicinal properties, such as aiding digestion and lowering blood sugar levels.
