Trigonella Foenum-Graecum. A common spice in many cuisines around the world, it is found dried and ground in curry blends. After flowering and when the plant is mature, it will produce pods of about 10-15 cm containing the golden-beige seeds. The clover-like leaves can also be eaten fresh or dried. Its flavor is reminiscent of celery.
