TRS Ajwain Seeds are whole ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) seeds with a strong, warm, slightly bitter and pungent flavor and a distinctive thyme-like aroma caused by the natural essential oil thymol. These small, ridged seeds are a staple in Indian, Middle Eastern and North African kitchens and are used to add depth to dals, curries, breads, pickles and spice blends. Ajwain is valued for its intense flavor, which is released and intensified when seeds are lightly crushed or toasted. Nutritionally, the seeds contain essential oils (including thymol and related compounds), dietary fiber, protein and trace minerals such as calcium and iron. Store TRS Ajwain Seeds in an airtight container away from heat, light and moisture to preserve aroma and freshness.

To use TRS Ajwain Seeds, add whole seeds to hot oil at the start of cooking for tempering (tadka) so they sizzle and release flavor, or mix them into dough for parathas, rotis and savory biscuits for a fragrant bite. For spice blends or milder flavor, dry-roast the seeds briefly and grind them, or lightly crush before adding to dishes. Ajwain can also be steeped in hot water as a traditional warming infusion for digestive comfort. Use sparingly, as the taste is strong; keep the seeds sealed in a cool, dry place. If you have specific health concerns, are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before using ajwain for therapeutic purposes.
