Description
Ajwain seeds, also known as carom seeds or bishop’s weed, are small, oval-shaped seeds that come from the Ajwain plant (Trachyspermum ammi), which is native to India and the Middle East. Ajwain seeds have a strong, pungent aroma and a slightly bitter, peppery taste.
Ajwain seeds are widely used in culinary applications for their distinctive flavor and medicinal properties. They are a common ingredient in Indian, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern cuisines, where they are used in spice blends, curries, breads, and pickles for their unique flavor and digestive benefits. Ajwain seeds are often roasted or fried before use to enhance their flavor and aroma.
