Ajwain Seeds

Description

Ajwain seeds, also known as carom seeds or Bishop’s weed, are small, oval-shaped seeds derived from the Ajwain plant (Trachyspermum ammi). Native to the Indian subcontinent, these seeds have a distinctive aroma and a strong, pungent taste.

Ajwain seeds are commonly used as a spice in Indian cuisine and are especially prevalent in savory dishes. They have a flavor profile that combines thyme, cumin, and anise, with a slightly bitter undertone. Ajwain is often used in various spice blends, such as garam masala, and it is a key ingredient in certain Indian bread (paratha) recipes.
