Carom Seeds (Ajwain اجوائن)
Basic Info:
A spice that every Pakistani household is all too familiar, Carom Seeds are the seeds of the ajwain herb, or Trachyspermum Ammi. Ajwain seeds vary from being slightly olive green to brown in color. Ajwain seeds are rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. Adding flavor and aroma to your meals is not the only purpose these nutrient boosters serve. They look similar to cumin seeds, but their taste and aroma are closer to that of thyme. They’re often sold as whole seeds but can also be ground into a powder and used as a cooking spice.
