Ajwain Seeds (Carom Seeds / Bishop's Weed)

Welcome to Siya Agri Exports LLP, your source for the most aromatic and medicinally potent spice from India-Ajwain Seeds. Native to the dry lands of Gujarat and Rajasthan, these tiny, oval-shaped seeds are packed with a powerful essential oil called Thymol, giving them a distinct fragrance similar to thyme but much sharper and more pungent.

We specialize in exporting fresh, new-crop Ajwain that retains its characteristic Greenish-Greycolor. Unlike old stock which turns brown and loses aroma, our seeds are harvested, machine-cleaned, and packed immediately to preserve the volatile oils. We supply grades suitable for spice blends, bakery toppings, and pharmaceutical extraction.

Why Choose Siya Agri Exports for Ajwain?

High Essential Oil (Thymol)

The value of Ajwain lies in its oil.

Selection: 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.

Extraction: This grade is perfect for pharmaceutical companies extracting thymol for cough syrups and digestive medicines.

Freshness (Green Color)

Visual Appeal: 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.

Applications & Uses

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.

Logistics & Packaging

Aroma Protection: 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.

Fumigation: Strict Methyl Bromide fumigation is conducted to prevent pest infestation during transit.
