Fenugreek seeds, known for their slightly bitter taste and distinctive aroma, are essential spices in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines, adding depth to dishes like curries and pickles. They're also valued for potential health benefits, aiding digestion and regulating blood sugar. Fenugreek leaves offer a slightly bitter, nutty flavor that enhances dishes, particularly in Indian cuisine. Both seeds and leaves contribute unique flavors, with the seeds offering hints of caramel and brown sugar when roasted.

Growing Instructions

Starting your seeds

You can start fenugreek seeds indoors using a heat mat for better germination. Once the seedlings sprout, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 4–6 hours of sunlight daily, When direct sowing fenugreek seeds, plant them about 1/4 inch deep with a light cover of soil in well-drained soil. Space them 4–6 inches apart to allow for healthy growth.

Harvesting your seeds

When harvesting fenugreek, wait until the plants are mature and the leaves are fully developed. Use scissors or pruning shears to snip the leaves just above the soil level. You can harvest the entire plant or selectively pick the outer leaves, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing.
