Fenugreek - The Maple Syrup Spice

Came across this as something to check out. Smells and tastes like maple syrup/caramel. Used in curry's and North African and Indian cuisine primarily. Comes in a leaf but mostly as a seed. I’ll omit the leaf. The seed needs to be ground, as prepared (ground) fenugreek powder has a short-shelf life. The bad news is that the seeds are very hard. The good news is one only needs a little to have an impact. The other bad news is that fenugreek is very bitter in larger quantity. The good news is that one only needs a little.
I have a small grinder I dedicate for fenugreek. I put a few turns on my M-F (days of week) breakfast (nuked dry cereal – Cheerios and rice crispy-like – with fruit and cinnamon and ginger). I imagine it would go with any sweet or semi-sweet dish, such as cooked carrots or stewed tomatoes. It would likely be safe in any other dish that had an acid component like any tomato dish, citrus, lemon/lime or vinegar – to counteract the bitterness. Would add a depth of flavor (“what is that/can't place it”) without being intrusive. I’ve added it to my lunch salad and glad I did.
Oh, it also boosts testosterone.
Fenugreek – now you know.

My wife used this to boost her milk production but my son seemed to have a bad reaction to it.
They use Fenugreek in almost all test boosting supplements. Didn’t think about it’s culinary uses.
Your not talking about that guy who plays for Miwaukee Bucks, are you.
Its a good supplement. It gives you boners.
