Fenugreek Flavor Tip
A little fenugreek goes a long way. Start with ¼–½ teaspoon ground fenugreek in baked goods and savory dishes. Too much can make foods taste bitter.
Fenugreek pairs especially well with: Apples ~ Cinnamon ~ Maple syrup ~ Honey ~ Garlic ~ Potatoes ~ Chicken ~ Yogurt ~ Oats ~ Lentils and beans
