Ajwain seeds, also known as carom seeds, are small, oval-shaped seeds with a pungent aroma and a sharp, bitter taste. Native to India and the Middle East, they are widely used in traditional cooking and Ayurvedic medicine. Ajwain belongs to the Apiaceae family, which also includes cumin, fennel, and coriander.
These seeds are rich in essential oils, especially thymol, which gives them their distinctive flavor and strong antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Ajwain is commonly used in Indian cuisine to flavor bread, snacks, and curries. It is also roasted or fried in ghee to mellow its flavor before adding to dishes.
Beyond culinary uses, ajwain has been used for centuries in natural remedies. It is well-known for aiding digestion, relieving flatulence, and soothing stomach discomfort. Many people chew ajwain seeds after meals or brew them into tea for relief from indigestion or cold symptoms.
Ajwain is also applied externally to treat joint pain, toothaches, and skin irritations. Its warming nature and powerful aroma make it a popular household remedy.
With its distinctive taste and health benefits, ajwain seed is a valuable addition to kitchens and natural medicine cabinets alike.
