Organic Carom Seeds (Ajwain – اجوائن)

Add the authentic zing of Ajwain to your kitchen!
Carom Seeds, locally known as Ajwain (اجوائن), are a staple spice in South Asian and Middle Eastern households. They are valued for their bold, pungent taste and strong aroma that brings a signature touch to parathas, pooris, pakoras, lentils, and savory snacks.

Traditionally, Ajwain is not just a culinary spice but a household remedy trusted for generations to help with bloating, indigestion, and stomach discomfort. It’s often boiled into herbal teas or chewed raw after heavy meals for its natural digestive properties.

Ajwain is also used in tadka (tempering) to infuse curries and daals with its unmistakable earthy spice. Slightly bitter with a thyme-like taste, a pinch goes a long way in balancing flavors and boosting appetite.

Benefits:

✔️ Adds bold flavor and aroma to food
✔️ Commonly used for parathas, puris & snacks
✔️ Traditional aid for bloating & digestion

✔️ Rich in thymol, which gives it its unique taste

How to Use:

Storage Instructions:

Store Ajwain in a cool, dry place in an airtight glass jar. Keep away from moisture to maintain aroma and flavor. Always seal properly after each use.
