Carom Seeds

Carom seeds, also known as ajwain, are small, oval-shaped seeds native to the Indian subcontinent. Ajwain has a strong, pungent aroma and a slightly bitter and peppery taste. It is commonly used as a spice in Indian cuisine, imparting a unique and distinctive flavor to dishes. Ajwain is often used in flatbreads like parathas, as well as in lentil dishes, pickles, and snacks. Apart from its culinary uses, carom seeds are also valued for their potential medicinal properties, particularly aiding digestion and providing relief from bloating and indigestion.
