The value of Ajwain lies in its oil.
The Solution: We source from specific belts in Gujarat known for producing seeds with high Thymol content (2%+). This ensures the seeds have a strong, “hot” taste that buyers expect.
The Benefit: This grade is perfect for pharmaceutical companies extracting thymol for cough syrups and digestive medicines.
The Solution: Old Ajwain turns dark brown or black. We guarantee Fresh Crop supply which has a lighter, greenish-grey hue. This visual freshness is crucial for retail packing and supermarket sales.
Culinary: A key ingredient in Indian curries, pickles, and lentil dishes (Tadka).
Bakery: Widely used as a topping for savory biscuits, crackers, and breads (like Ajwain Paratha or Naan).
Medicinal: The #1 home remedy for indigestion, acidity, and bloating. Used in “Omam Water” (Ajwain Water) for babies.
Preservative: Its antifungal properties make it an excellent natural preservative for pickles.
The Solution: Ajwain has a very strong smell that can taint other cargos. We use high-quality HDPE Bags and ensure proper container lining to contain the aroma.
The Benefit: Strict Methyl Bromide fumigation is conducted to prevent pest infestation during transit.
