VAAMU

Description

Vaamu, also known as Ajwain or Carom Seeds, is a powerful spice valued in Indian kitchens for both its strong flavor and medicinal benefits. With a pungent, slightly bitter, and thyme-like taste, Vaamu is commonly used in parathas, pakoras, pickles, dals, curries, and spice blends.

In Ayurveda, Vaamu is considered an excellent digestive aid and natural remedy. It contains thymol, a compound that helps stimulate digestion, relieve bloating, acidity, indigestion, and colds. Ajwain water is often given for stomach upsets, while roasted Vaamu is used as a traditional home remedy for coughs and colds.

Apart from health uses, Vaamu also adds a unique, bold flavor to snacks and everyday cooking, making it an essential kitchen spice.
