An Ajwain Seeds history.
Trachyspermum Ammi is an annual in the family Apiaceae. It has small, oval-shaped fruits (or seeds) that taste bitter and smell very strong. The seeds are often dry-roasted and used as a spice in savory dishes, baked goods, and even sweet desserts. They are also known as carom. Because of their health benefits, ajwain seeds are also used in Ayurvedic medicine. Ajwain seed is often used in cooking and as a seasoning.
It was first grown in the eastern Mediterranean, but now most of it is grown along riverbanks in central Asia, India, and most of Egypt. Most of the time, the dried fruits (seeds) are used whole in Middle Eastern, African, and Indian cooking. They add a savory and slightly bitter taste. People say that the seeds make sweet soups and stews taste better and that they make beans less gassy. Ajwain goes well with light proteins, beans, and curries.
It can also be mixed with turmeric, paprika, cumin, fennel, and coriander. Ajwain seeds are part of the Ayurvedic tradition and are used to help the body digest food and treat small stomach problems.
