Spice Profile Organic Fenugreek Seeds | 8 oz | Lab Tested

About this item

• 100% USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC FENUGREEK SEEDS: 100% USDA Certified Organic whole fenugreek seeds, also known as methi seeds, sourced from India. These small, golden-brown seeds have a warm, earthy aroma and distinctive bitter, slightly maple-like flavor for cooking, spice blends, pickling, and traditional preparations.
• WARM, EARTHY & DISTINCTLY BITTER: Fenugreek seeds have a naturally bitter flavor with warm, nutty, earthy, and subtle maple-like notes. Briefly toasting the seeds or cooking them in oil can mellow their bitterness and develop a deeper savory flavor. If you are using fenugreek for the first time, start with about ¼ teaspoon for 2–4 servings and adjust to taste.
• WHOLE FENUGREEK SEEDS FOR SOUTH ASIAN & GLOBAL COOKING: Use whole methi seeds in tadka and tempering, or toast and grind them for spice blends such as sambar powder and panch phoron. They are also used in dals, curries, vegetable dishes, pickles, chutneys, and breads. Fenugreek seeds are found in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Ethiopian cuisines.
• USE WHOLE, CRUSHED OR GROUND: Fenugreek seeds can be added whole for texture, lightly crushed for a more noticeable spice presence, or ground for spice blends and seasonings. Toasting before grinding releases more of the seeds' aroma and creates a deeper flavor for homemade masalas and other spice mixtures.
• TRADITIONAL & NON-CULINARY USES: Fenugreek seeds have a long history of use in traditional Indian and Ayurvedic preparations and are sometimes soaked or steeped for traditional beverages and homemade preparations. Outside cooking, the seeds are also used in DIY botanical and personal-care preparations, including soaked or ground seed pastes and homemade hair or skin recipes.
• STEAM STERILIZED & NON-IRRADIATED: Steam sterilized as part of processing and non-irradiated. No added salt, fillers, or artificial ingredients are included.
• THIRD-PARTY TESTED & RESEALABLE 8 OZ POUCH: Independently third-party lab tested across 250+ parameters, including heavy metals and ETOs, with laboratory testing information available through SpiceProfile.com. The 8 oz resealable zip-lock pouch provides more fenugreek seeds for regular cooking, spice blending, and pickling while helping protect the seeds from moisture and preserve their aroma between uses.
