Used as early as 4000 BC in the Middle East, fenugreek is a common ingredient in curries from the Indian subcontinent to Africa. The angular, yellow seeds almost have a sweet, maple-like aroma that is just slightly resinous. Fenugreek is commonly used in curry paste and powder, chutney and Indian pickled goods. This finely ground form of fenugreek is convenient to have on hand if you do not wish to grind your own seeds.
Spices and herbs should be stored away from light, heat and moisture. However, storing spices in the refrigerator or freezer may actually shorten their shelf life and they risk picking up other food odors. In general, whole spices have a longer shelf life than ground spices. Depending on the spice and how well it is stored, a good rule of thumb is six months to a year for powdered spices and longer for whole spices and seeds. The best way to determine if your spices or herbs are still fresh is to close your eyes and sniff – if you cannot immediately tell what the herb or spice is, toss it!
