Methi, Fenugreek (Organic)

Fenugreek, known as Methi, is one of the most versatile plants in the Indian kitchen garden. Its tender leaves add a gently bitter, aromatic flavor to curries and rotis, while its seeds bring the deep, earthy warmth found in countless Indian spice blends.

Grow it easily:
Fenugreek is one of the simplest Indian greens to start from seed — quick to germinate, forgiving of soil types, and happy in pots or beds. Sow densely for tender methi leaves within 20–25 days, or space apart and let mature to harvest seeds in about 90 days.

In the kitchen:
Harvest young for methi leaves (use in parathas, curries, or dal) or let plants mature for fenugreek seeds, the key to panch phoron, sambar powder, and achaar masala.

Why gardeners love it:
✔ Fast-growing, even for beginners
✔ Thrives in mild California winters
✔ Connects deeply to traditional Indian home cooking
