4) Clerk told me many people chew the fenugreek. Whatchya' thinx?
I have never tried to chew the whole seeds, so I don't know if they are soft or hard. As long as they are soft enough to chew the this is fine. If not you can grind them with a coffee grinder.
Don't even try to chew these seeds. It's like trying to chew gravel. I had to grind mine in my coffee grinder. That works well.
