Ajwain (Whole) Organic


$ 5.00

Ajwain: The tiny fruit with a big, bold flavor.

Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi), also lovingly known as carom or bishop's weed, brings a delightful kick with its rich mix of anise and thyme flavors. Often infused in oil for Indian cuisines, these tiny yet powerful fruits provide a unique taste to curries, breads, and legumes. Consider using it in savory pastries or as a natural remedy to support digestion. You'll find that the essential oil of ajwain is composed of 50% thymol, a fantastic germicide that's commonly found in toothpaste and perfumery.

Details: Certified organic, sustainably harvested. Origin India.
