🌱 The Origin – Ajwain’s Ancient Heritage

ajowan (Trachyspermum ammi) belongs to the Apiaceae family, the same botanical family as cumin, fennel, and dill. Native to the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East, ajowan has been a part of Ayurvedic medicine, Unani healing, and folk remedies for thousands of years.

The spice is mentioned in ancient Indian texts for its digestive and medicinal benefits. In traditional Indian households, Ajwain water (ajwain ka pani) is a common home remedy for stomach discomfort, indigestion, and bloating. Beyond health, Ajwain is also prized in Indian cuisine, especially in breads, pickles, and savory snacks.
