Botanical Name: Trachyspermum Ammi
Country Of Origin: India
Description: Ajwain Seed Whole consists of the dried fruits of Trachyspermum ammi, an herb cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions of South Asia and the Middle East. The plant produces small, ridged, oval seeds that develop a naturally strong, aromatic profile as they mature. Once dried, the seeds display a light brown colour and a firm texture typical of whole ajwain.
The production process begins with harvesting the mature seed heads when the fruits reach full development. After collection, the seeds are separated from the plant material and cleaned to remove natural field debris. They are then dried under controlled conditions to achieve a consistent moisture level that ensures stability during storage. The seeds are kept whole without milling or further alteration, allowing them to retain their natural shape and appearance.
Ajwain Seed Whole is commonly used in culinary applications where a robust, aromatic seed is desired.
The seeds can be added to spice blends, tempering mixtures, baked goods, pickling preparations, and savoury dishes. When heated in oil or incorporated into doughs, they contribute their characteristic flavour throughout the mixture.
Beyond cooking, whole seeds are also used in craft projects, sensory blends, and educational activities involving herbs and spices, where their natural texture, colour, and aroma add interest to botanical displays. Their stable form and seed-derived nature make them suitable for a variety of culinary and craft uses that require whole botanical material.
Storage: In a cool, dry space, sealed against the elements as much as possible.
