Fenugreek powder

Fenugreek powder is an excellent ingredient for many dishes. Use only one or two knife tips - the powder tastes very bitter at first, but the bitter substances largely dissipate during frying and cooking. Whether in stir-fry dishes, in broths or sauces - the aromatic powder adds a lot of zest to your dishes. Sotolon is essentially responsible for this. This is because the aromatic substance strengthens the umami flavor, which is known to provide full-bodiedness.

Using fenugreek powder or fenugreek seeds

Of course, you can also process the fenugreek seeds into powder yourself, but this is laborious because the fenugreek seeds are very hard. If they are not processed finely enough, small "grains of sand" will interfere with the enjoyment. In addition, the uses are very different - here are a few recommendations:

• Fenugreek seeds: Cheese, tea, stews, roasting (for spice mix), sprouts (allow to sprout).
• Fenugreek powder: to refine soups, broths, sauces, potato, vegetable, fish or meat dishes.
