About Ajwain Seeds (Carom)

Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi), also known as carom seed or bishop's weed, is one of India's most important culinary and medicinal spices. India is the world's largest producer and exporter of ajwain, with Rajasthan producing the finest quality. The seeds have a characteristic sharp, thyme-like aroma due to their high thymol content.

SV Botanica sources machine-cleaned whole ajwain seeds directly from Rajasthan farming networks. The seeds are available in whole and ground forms, with volatile oil and thymol content tested per lot. Widely exported to the Middle East, EU, and US markets.

Why Indian Ajwain

Indian ajwain contains the highest thymol concentration (40–50%) of any commercially significant spice — making it a natural antimicrobial and the preferred origin for thymol extraction and pharmaceutical applications. Food-grade supply is also in strong demand for Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines.

Origin & Traceability

Sourced from Rajasthan (Nagaur, Jodhpur districts) — India's primary ajwain cultivation belt. Machine-cleaned at APEDA-certified facilities. Thymol test reports available on request.
