Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) Herb Seeds
Fenugreek is an annual aromatic herb which produces yellow/white flowers and long yellow seedpods. It likes full sun and well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil. It doesn't like to be transplanted.
Herb Usage
Fenugreek is probably best known for its seeds which have a slightly bitter taste and are roasted and ground and used as a flavouring in curries. The leaves from the plant (often sold as methi) can be used in salads, and both fresh and dried leaves are used in Indian cookery. The seeds and the leaves have a strong aroma.
Growing Instructions
Sow directly in to the garden or plug modules or a large pot from late spring to late summer. Cover seed with vermiculite. Maintain min 15'C. Germination 14-21 days. If direct sowing, sow into cultivated soil so that the seeds are about 5 cm (2in) apart and 1 cm (1/2in) deep. Thin to 15 cm (6in) apart in all directions.
