With notes of oregano and thyme with hints of mint and pepper, Ajwain Seeds, also known as Carom Seeds, are strong and bitter, but mellow with cooking. Add them to breads, savory pastries, curries, legumes, potatoes, and other root vegetables.
Species: Trachyspermum ammi
Other names: Ajowan, Ajwan, Ajwain carom, carom seeds, carum, bishop's weedĀ
Appearance: Ajwain seeds have an olive green to brown color and are similar to cumin or caraway seeds in appearance, though easily differentiated by their oval shape and small size. They come from a small annual shrub with many branches of small feather-like leaves.Ā
Typically used: Whole
Origin: Ajwain is thought to have originated in the Asia minor or Persia regions, and spread to India from there. It is now grown along river banks throughout the Middle East, as well as India and North Africa.
Flavor: This seed adds balance to both sweet and savory foods with its somewhat minty flavor. The flavor profile is therefore somewhat herbaceous, as well as savory and slightly bitter. The taste of the carom seed could also be described as bitter and pungent - reminiscent of anise and oregano.
Aroma: Due to containing the essential oil thymol, ajwain seeds smell like thyme, however they are much more aromatic.
Culinary uses: Ajwain is commonly used in baked goods, breads, vegetables, beans and more. In the Middle East, the spice is used in both meat and rice dishes. In India, the spice is paired with other spices in the Indian spice mix, baghaar, which is fried in oil to flavor lentil dishes, as well as added to breads, like ajwain paratha. Seeds are typically dry-roasted or fried in ghee. To protect the essential oils in carom seeds, and therefore their strong taste, it is best to grind the seeds just before use and add the spice in the final stages of cooking. Never worry about serving bland meals when you add ajwain seeds into the mix. The Indian and Mediterranean origin seed provides great zest that will have your mouth watering every time.

Haven't cooked with this yet, but was pleased to find it here.
Toasted ajawain seed is the best! It also calms a sick headache.
This is a new spice to me but I'm glad to have it. I'm also glad to know where to buy it as there are no stores that carry it near me.
I use this to make my ginger chai every morning. It seems to help with heartburn. The quality of OI products is always purer and the flavors more intense so I don't need to use as much as I would with store bought Ajjwain.
Great quality, I recommend it to anyone interested in Indian and Ayurvedic cooking.
You can always trust that you'll get the best quality organic products from PIF.
One of the most underrated spices. No aloo paratha without this or even rajma masala for that matter.
Ajwain seeds always add something interesting to my creations!
I used this to make some masoor dal (which I had not made before) and it was really good!
good product
Great quality and information. The herbs, spices and oils as well as anything else we've bought here are excellent quality. I have recommended this site to many people.
