I use powdered fenugreek in the clear container from WHole Foods. It is part of my powdered herb mixture (burdock, rosemary, kelp, rose petal powder, comfrey, fenugreek, nettle and some others that I can't recall right now) that I keep in a large container. I also add it to my scalp concoction along with powdered rosemary, kelp and msm. I tried working with the seeds, but it was too messy and that stuff does not come out of your hair very easily.
