About Fenugreek sprouts

Fenugreek sprouts are young shoots grown from fenugreek seeds and harvested shortly after germination. They can be eaten raw or lightly cooked and used as a fresh, sharp-tasting addition to salads, sandwiches, and savoury dishes.

The sprouts have small leaves and pale stems, with a crisp, tender texture. Their flavour is green and somewhat bitter, with the characteristic pungent notes of fenugreek; seed size, sprout length, and flavour intensity vary with growing and harvest conditions.
