Hulbah, holbah, helbeh or hilbeh (Arabic: حلبة) is a condiment made from ground fenugreek seeds. A traditional Yemeni food,[1] now popularized among other cultures as well, especially by Yemenite Jews in Israel, who have introduced it to other ethnic groups.[2] Hulbah greatly expands when added to water. When whisked in a bowl, it takes on a light, frothy texture. It is consumed almost every day domestically in Yemen, and can be eaten by itself or added to saltah and fahsa.[3] A dollop of hulbah is often dished out of the larger batch and added to hot soup.
