Ajwain is native to India but is also cultivated in Iran, Egypt and Afghanistan.


It is mostly found in Indian cooking. Ajwain seeds are used as spice.


The grayish-green seeds are striped and curved (similar to cumin or caraway seeds in appearance), often with a fine silk stalk attached.


The seeds are often chewed on their own for medicinal value, tasting bitingly hot and bitter, leaving the tongue numb for a few moments.
