Ajwain, also known as carom seeds, is a spice commonly used in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. It has a strong, aromatic flavor reminiscent of thyme and is often used in bread, curries, and snacks. The seeds are small, oval-shaped, and brownish-gray in color. In addition to its culinary uses, Ajwain is valued for its medicinal properties. It is believed to aid digestion, relieve gas, and alleviate respiratory issues. The seeds can be consumed whole or ground into a powder, making them versatile for both cooking and herbal remedies.
