Carom Seeds also known as ajwain, are small oval-shaped seeds that come from the herb Trachyspermum ammi. They have a unique and strong flavor and are commonly used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Pakistani cuisines. These have a pungent, aromatic flavor with a hint of bitterness and are often described as having a taste similar to thyme or oregano. They contain an essential oil called thymol, which aids digestion, alleviates flatulence, and reduces bloating. Carom Seeds are known to be beneficial for respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and common colds. In traditional medicine, carom seed steam inhalation or the consumption of carom seed water is often recommended to alleviate symptoms.
