Fenugreek is a delicious green with edible seeds. Fenugreek, which is native to India and the Middle East, is most familiar in many countries as one of the main ingredients of curry powder. Dating back 4,000 years to ancient Egypt, this herb had uses as diverse as a medicine, a spice, a dye, cattle fodder, or an element in the mummification process.
 
Fresh fenugreek leaves, known as "methi," are used extensively in Indian cuisine for their strong curry-like taste in flatbreads and main dishes. In some countries, fenugreek seeds are used like coffee! Their caramel/maple scent and flavor make a delightful addition to teas and baking.
