Fenugreek seeds (Methi ke beej)

Used whole or ground, fenugreek seeds add depth, distinct bitter-sweet taste and earthy aroma to curries, pickles, spice blends, and lentil dishes. Beyond their culinary appeal, fenugreek seeds are rich in fiber, iron, and antioxidants, and are traditionally valued for supporting digestion, regulating blood sugar, and promoting lactation.
