Getting Rid of Fenugreek Odor

Getting Rid of Fenugreek Odor

Fenugreek is an herbaceous plant with green leaves, small white flowers, and pods containing tiny brown seeds. It grows to about 60–90 cm in height and has been used for thousands of years in alternative and Chinese medicine to treat various ailments, including skin conditions. Recently, it has become a popular household spice and is also used in pharmaceuticals, soaps, and shampoos. Fenugreek seeds have a strong aroma and pungent flavor, while its leaves taste bitter. The seeds can be consumed ground, dried, or as dietary supplements (after consulting a doctor).
