Fenugreek is a clover-like herb native to the Mediterranean region, southern Europe, and western Asia. Its seeds, which smell and taste like maple syrup, have been used as a spice and a traditional medicine. Because of its maple-like flavor, fenugreek has been used as a flavoring agent in foods, beverages, and tobacco.
