Fenugreek
 
Fenugreek is the small, three- cornered flower. It is an ancient spice used in Middle East, Northern- Eastern Africa and India, especially for pickles. Dry roasting enhances the flavor and reduces the bitterness of this spice.

Fenugreek has a strong, pleasant and a peculiar odor. It grows best in well-drained soils with a low rainfall into brownish-yellow rhombic shape seeds. It is often cultivated as a cover crop in citrus-fruit groves to take advantage of their leguminous nature.

In India, it is grown in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. It is exported in its whole and powdered forms and as oil to Saudi Arabia, Japan, Malaysia, USA, The UK, Singapore and Sri Lanka.
