About
Our Organic Fenugreek Powder (*Trigonella foenum-graecum*) is a finely milled, yellowish-golden spice that bridges the gap between the kitchen and the apothecary. Known as 'Methi' in Indian cuisine, it is famous for its complex flavour profile: a distinctive, sweet aroma reminiscent of maple syrup and burnt sugar, paired with a warming, slightly bitter taste. Beyond its role as a foundational curry spice, Fenugreek is globally revered in traditional herbalism to support healthy lactation in nursing mothers, aid digestion, and serve as a nutrient-rich base for Ayurvedic hair masks.
As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.
Directions of Use
Fenugreek powder is highly concentrated. A little goes a long way, whether you are cooking, brewing, or mixing a beauty paste.
1. Culinary (Curries & Spice Blends): Add 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon to curries, dhal, or dry rubs. Toasting it lightly in a dry pan or hot oil helps mellow its natural bitterness and enhances its maple sweetness.
2. Lactation Support (Teas & Smoothies): Whisk 1/2 teaspoon into warm milk (or a dairy-free alternative), smoothies, or oatmeal. Its maple aroma pairs beautifully with cinnamon and honey.
3. Ayurvedic Hair Mask: Mix 2 tablespoons of powder with water, yoghurt, or aloe vera gel to form a slippery paste. Apply to the scalp and hair roots, leave for 30 minutes, and rinse well to promote conditioning and scalp health.
4. Digestive Tonic: Mix a quarter teaspoon in warm water and drink before meals to gently stimulate digestion and support healthy blood sugar levels.
