Introduction
The name fenugreek comes from the Latin term
Foenum-graecum, or Greek hay, the plant being used to scent moldy hay. The
genus name, Trigonella, is derived from another Greek name denoting
"three-angled," from the shape of the "crown" around the
seed. Ancient Roman medicine used fenugreek as an aid to male potency.
Fenugreek is one of the base ingredients in curry powder and is used
extensively in cooking throughout Asia. It is also used as a base for perfumes,
soaps, and lotions.

Summary
Fenugreek is a historically significant spice,
lending its flavor to dishes from Egypt to India and across the Middle East.
Though best known in the United States for the flavor it imparts on traditional
curry seasoning, fenugreek as a spice is much further reaching. The seeds are
ground into powder and used to make flour, thicken stews, and add flavor to a
wide variety of meat dishes. The powder has a sweet, nutty aroma, reminiscent
of maple syrup, though the flavor itself is decidedly bitter. The seeds can be
roasted as needed in order to cut the bitterness and bring some of the natural
sugars to the surface.
Fenugreek seeds are also popular for their
delicious sprouts. Simply soak the seeds overnight and transfer them to a
moist, closed environment where they will begin sprouting within days. The
sprouts can then be used to spice up salads and sandwiches.
