Native of Natural offers Premium Dried Fenugreek Leaves (Trigonella foenum-graecum), widely known by their Hindi name, Kasuri Methi or Kasoori Methi. This product is distinct from fenugreek seeds; the dried leaves are primarily used as a culinary herb to impart a unique, complex flavor profile described as slightly bitter, intensely aromatic, and subtly sweet/maple-like.
Kasuri Methi is an essential flavoring agent in North Indian cuisine, added towards the end of cooking or used as a garnish. Our leaves are carefully dried to concentrate their characteristic flavor and aroma, providing a shelf-stable alternative to the fresh herb.
