Product features
Flavor profile: Helba seeds have a complex, bittersweet taste with a fragrant, maple-like aroma.

Brand: Ziyad has been a family-owned provider of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food products since 1966.
Culinary uses
After being soaked and cooked, the whole seeds are used in a variety of dishes.
Middle Eastern dishes: A key ingredient in some Yemeni dishes and the Palestinian cake helba. It is also brewed into a warm, spiced drink in some cultures.
Indian cuisine: Used in a wide variety of Indian dishes, including curries, lentil dishes (dal), and spice blends like garam masala.
Marinades and spice rubs: The seeds can be ground and added to marinades, dry rubs, soups, and stews to add a unique, savory depth of flavor.
Tea: The seeds can be used to make a flavorful and aromatic tea.
Preparation
For recipes that call for ground fenugreek, the seeds can be ground in a spice grinder. For teas or stews, they can be steeped or simmered whole. Soaking the seeds beforehand can reduce their bitterness.
