Carom seeds, also known as ajwain, are small, oval-shaped seeds with a pungent, thyme-like aroma and a strong, distinctive flavor. These tiny seeds pack a powerful punch, delivering a warm, bitter, and slightly peppery taste with a hint of anise. Their appearance is similar to cumin or fennel seeds, but with a browner, more earthy hue. Used in small quantities, carom seeds add depth and complexity to dishes, offering both flavor and potential health benefits.

Carom seeds should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place. This helps to retain their aroma and flavor for an extended period. Avoid storing them in areas exposed to direct sunlight or heat, as this can cause them to lose their potency. When stored properly, carom seeds can last for up to a year or longer.
