Ya you can grind the seeds and make tea, but its so easy to soak them that I would just eat them. They get softer.(17-05-2014, 04:03)surferjoe2007 Wrote: You could soak the seeds in water overnight and then consume them to make sure you get everything. If you make tea then use powder rather than seeds.
More wouldn't hurt; you can consume quite a lot like a food. And while a maple smell is a good indicator it isn't always necessary. Plus you might not be able to smell yourself as well as someone else can smell you.
One more question. I have seeds and powder. The powder I got from an Indian grocery store. There are still granules in them so it's not all powder. Is that typical of fenugreek powder? Can I just grind the seeds in the coffee grinder to make powder?
as for the maple syrup smell, when i sweat, i'd smell it and nope, i don't smell like maple syrup. apparently all your bodily fluids are supposed to smell. mine don't. but i am taking 2 teaspoons twice a day either as tea or soaked in water and drinking the water and eating the seeds. sure that's plenty enough, right?
