Ajowan Seeds Whole

Native to the Middle East and India this plant is related to parsley. The seeds look like celery seeds and they taste like a combination of anise, oregano and black pepper. The main flavor compound, thymol is the same in thyme and oregano. They add a peppery flavor to food with a bitterness that can be reduced by toasting or frying the seeds first.

These little seeds are potent so use small amounts when adding to vegetables, grains or legumes. The flavor mellows with longer cooking time.
