Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an herb with small, rectangular-shaped green leaves and small white flowers. Native to the Mediterranean region, Southern Europe, and Western Asia, fenugreek is cultivated for both its leaves and seeds, each imparting a distinct flavor to culinary dishes.

Fenugreek seeds are small, yellow-brown, and have a distinctive, somewhat nutty taste. They are frequently used as a spice in cooking, especially in Indian cuisine. Fenugreek seeds are a key component of many spice blends and curry powders. In addition to their culinary uses, fenugreek seeds are also known for their potential health benefits and are sometimes used in herbal remedies.
