Ajwain (Carom Seeds)

Ajwain (Carom Seeds) is a small, pungent spice seed commonly used in South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking for its thyme-like, slightly bitter flavor and carminative (digestion-aiding) properties. It is often toasted or fried briefly in oil to release its aromatic essential oils and used in breads, spice blends, pickles and savory snacks. Though typically used in small amounts, Ajwain (Carom Seeds) is a notable source of minerals for a spice—including about calciummg of calcium per 100g—and also contains protein and a good amount of dietary fiber when considered on a per-weight basis. Its essential oils contribute most of the characteristic flavor and the traditional digestive benefits associated with the seed. In nutritional terms, carom seeds are valued more for micronutrients, fiber and their aromatic, bioactive compounds than as a bulk food; they provide plant-based protein and minerals and contain antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory compounds that align with traditional uses for easing indigestion and bloating.Read more
