Used in moderation, this bitterness adds depth; too many seeds create an overwhelmingly bitter result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maple aroma in fenugreek?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fenugreek seeds contain sotolone, the same compound responsible for maple syrup’s characteristic aroma. This is why fenugreek is sometimes used in artificial maple flavoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre fenugreek seeds the same as kasoori methi?\u003c\/strong\u003e No — kasoori methi is the dried leaf of the fenugreek plant.
