Thanks! I bought some ground Cumin, and some whole Cumin seeds. I
really do want to taste the difference.

The bulk Fenugreek seeds are not expensive so I can get more, but I'll
follow Koko's advice and freeze what I powdered Friday.

The difference between the bulk and jarred herbs is rather drastic. For
instance, the dried dill weed (jar) I purchased ages ago was $5.00. I
bought enough bulk dill for the same price to re-fill the jar 5 times.
;-)

I love dill weed on fish, shrimp and many vegetables.
