Ajowan seed is also known as Ajwain seed and Carom.
This spice is popular in southern Indian style cooking. It has a flavor reminiscent of thyme; a similarity due to the presence of the essential oil thymol in both. These seeds are used in Asian cooking, breads, biscuits, savory pastries, and in bean dishes. This spice closely resembles the Lovage seed.
We owe much to the fruitful meditation of our sages, but a sane veiw of life is, after all, elaborated mainly in the kitchen.
