Description
Ancient and steadfast ~ Fenugreek has been cultivated for thousands of years, its name drawn from the Latin for “Greek hay,” a nod to its long presence around the Mediterranean. From there it spread through North Africa and West Asia, becoming a familiar plant in fields and kitchens alike.
The plant grows upright with delicate green leaves and slender pods that hold its angular, amber-hued seeds. Once dried, the seeds become hard and smooth, carrying a gently nutty scent with faint sweetness. When steeped, they lend the cup a warm golden hue and a rounded, grain-like taste with subtle maple notes.
