I was fascinated that Dr. Doulliard recommends the spice called fenugreek as a tea or supplement for spring cleaning of your lymphatic system. This is very inexpensive to purchase.
In checking my spice cabinet, I found a jar of it. It is a bittersweet flavor, most commonly found in Indian and Ethiopian foods. It has a maple flavor-essence and is delicious when combined with coriander, cumin or paprika. Tomatoes also enhance the bittersweet flavor. Most often lemons or limes are used to offset the bittersweet flavor. It is often used in small amounts with recipes calling for rich, complex gravies and sauces. If you like the cuisine from southern India, you will like using fenugreek. They also use fresh or dried leaves as well as the seed.
