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

Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi), also known as carom or bishop's weed, packs a punch with its pungent blend of anise and thyme flavors. Often tempered in oil for Indian dishes, these tiny fruits add a distinctive taste to curries, breads, and legumes. Try it in savory pastries or as a natural remedy for digestion. The essential oil of ajwain contains 50% thymol, which is a germicide that's used in toothpaste and perfumery.
