fenugreek Seeds

Fenugreek, known as “uluhaal” in Sri Lanka, is a small, aromatic seed used widely in cooking and traditional medicine. The seeds, which have a slightly bitter taste, are often used in curries, pickles, and spice blends, adding depth and a unique flavor to dishes. In Sri Lankan cuisine, fenugreek is especially popular in fish curries and lentil dishes. Apart from its culinary uses, fenugreek is valued for its health benefits, believed to aid digestion, lower blood sugar, and improve lactation in nursing mothers. Its distinctive flavor and medicinal properties have made it a staple in many South Asian kitchens.
