Blue Fenugreek Powder Organic

Organic blue fenugreek powder is a finely ground spice from Trigonella caerulea, also known as broodklaver. This organic powder is suitable for use in cheese, spice blends and other products, because its aroma distributes evenly. In the Alpine region this herb is traditionally established and is used in many ways.

What is blue fenugreek?

As a spice plant from the legume family, blue fenugreek belongs to the genus Trigonella. For this herb dried leaves, flowers and seeds are used, which are processed into an aromatic spice. Under names such as 'brotklee' and 'schabzigerklee' this plant is particularly well known in Switzerland and South Tyrol.

Origin and characteristics of Trigonella caerulea

Compared to fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), blue fenugreek is milder in taste. The flavour is spicy and slightly bitter, with an aroma reminiscent of hay and lovage.

Cultivation takes place in the Alpine region and the Mediterranean area. The plant grows in sunny locations and is harvested during the flowering period, after which leaves, flowers and seeds are carefully processed.

Use of blue fenugreek powder in the kitchen

Blue fenugreek is used in ground form as a spice and pairs well with baked goods, cheese and savory dishes. It is especially used in bread preparation as part of bread spices and provides a characteristic, spicy flavour to the dough. Due to its fine texture, blue fenugreek powder is easy to dose by hand and to mix evenly into any blend. That makes this product particularly suitable for consistent results during processing.

It is also versatile in dips, quark and spreads.

Typical applications:

• In spice blends

• In dips, spreads and quark

• For cheese and cheese varieties such as Schabziger

• In marinades, potato dishes and other recipes
