About Blue fenugreek

Blue fenugreek is an aromatic herb whose leaves and seeds are used as seasonings. The dried herb is sold as leaves or ground material and has a distinctive, sweet, herbaceous aroma with a flavour often compared with fenugreek but milder. Its forms are not interchangeable with one another or with ordinary fenugreek.

It is used in some regional cuisines to season breads, vegetables, and other foods. The leaves may be used fresh or dried, while seed products are less common; the part of the plant and whether it is dried or ground affect its aroma and culinary use. The name can refer to the herb rather than a single prepared product.
