Fenugreek is an herb that is closely related to clover. It's native to the Mediterranean region, southern Europe, and eastern Asia. The seeds are used in cooking, in medicine, and to hide the taste of other medicine. Fenugreek seeds smell and taste similar to maple syrup. Fenugreek is an annual plant in the family Fabaceae, with leaves consisting of three small oval to oblong leaflets. To plant this yummy herb you'll need full sunlight and cool temperatures. Fenugreek is grown in spring in warm climates, but can be grown all summer where summers are mild. Plant fenugreek seeds directly in the garden after frost danger has passed in spring, as the plants don’t tolerate transplanting. The soil should be well drained, and should be amended with compost or well-rotted manure before planting.
