Fenugreek

India is the leading producer of fenugreek seed, with other sources including Iran, Egypt, China, Turkey, Morocco, Spain, and France. Whole fenugreek seeds are often lightly roasted to mellow their natural bitterness. A staple in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine, these seeds are used in spice blends, curries, and stews, and are sometimes chewed before meals to support healthy digestion.
