Frequently Asked Questions

Why are fenugreek seeds bitter?

The bitterness comes from alkaloids and saponins, which are also responsible for many of their health benefits. The bitterness mellows when seeds are tempered in hot oil or dry-roasted, releasing a nuttier, more pleasant flavour.

Can I use fenugreek seeds for hair care?

Yes! Soaking methi seeds overnight and grinding into a paste is a popular Ayurvedic remedy for hair loss and dandruff. Fenugreek is also commonly infused into coconut oil for scalp massage.

What is the difference between fenugreek seeds and kasuri methi?

Fenugreek seeds (methi dana) are the whole dried seeds used mainly at the start of cooking. Kasuri methi is the dried leaf of the same plant, used as a finishing herb. Both are used in Indian cooking but at different stages.

How much fenugreek should I use in cooking?

Use sparingly — typically 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per dish. Too much fenugreek can make a dish overly bitter. Dry roasting or tempering in oil before adding other ingredients significantly reduces bitterness.
