Kairusi whole fenugreek seeds (Vendhayam, also called methi seeds) are a bittersweet whole spice for sambar, puli kuzhambu, idli batter and traditional pickles, packed in 100gm and 50gm pouches. The golden-brown seeds carry a maple-like aroma and are sun-dried to hold their bittersweet fragrance. They are 100% pure and natural, free of additives and artificial preservatives, hand-selected for their golden colour and cleaned to remove impurities and broken pieces, so a small pinch gives a strong flavour lift. In Tamil cooking, fenugreek is used for tempering and idli batter fermentation; it also suits lentil soups, vegetable stir-fries, chutneys, and Middle Eastern bread and meat dishes. Lightly toasting the seeds in a dry pan brings out a warm, nutty fragrance, and soaking them overnight makes a traditional health tonic. Rich in soluble fibre and iron, Vendhayam is a cooling spice and sprouting seed, traditionally used to support digestion and healthy blood sugar levels. The seeds fill a white stand-up zip pouch with a clear window and the round Kairusi logo, printed "PREMIUM WHOLE FENUGREEK SEED". Catalogue code: WFG0100 (100gm), WFG0050 (50gm)
