Utskho Suneli | Blue Fenugreek Powder | Suneli Valley

Utskho Suneli, or blue fenugreek, is a plant native to the mountains of northern Georgia. Blue Fenugreek is a relative of the common fenugreek, getting its name from the color of its flower. Compared to its cousin, which can be quite bitter and astringent, blue fenugreek is much milder.

Utskho is an essential spice in Georgian cuisine and the basis of the seasoning blend, Khmeli Suneli. In its raw form, blue fenugreek, as mentioned, is bitter, but when cooked, it ultimately gives dishes a slightly sweet, nutty flavor.

It is an excellent enhancer for stews, soups, fish, poultry, or any dish needing a subtle savory touch.
