Spices & Seasonings

Ajwain seeds, also known as carom seeds or bishop's weed, are small, oval-shaped seeds derived from the Ajwain herb (Trachyspermum ammi). They are commonly used in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines for their distinctive, aromatic flavor reminiscent of thyme, with a hint of anise. Ajwain seeds are known for their strong, slightly bitter taste and pungent aroma, making them a popular spice in various savory dishes, bread, and snacks. Besides their culinary uses, ajwain seeds are valued for their medicinal properties, including aiding digestion, relieving respiratory issues, and providing anti-inflammatory benefits.
