Ajwain seeds, also known as carom seeds or Bishop's
weed, are the dried fruits of the Ajwain plant (Trachyspermum ammi), which
belongs to the Apiaceae family. In some cultures, ajwain seeds are used as a
mouth freshener or digestive aid after meals. Ajwain seeds are believed to help
alleviate indigestion, bloating, and gas. Some studies suggest that ajwain
seeds may have antibacterial properties that could help fight certain bacterial
infections.
