Ajwain Desi Barik, or small carom seeds, are tiny, pale brown seeds with a strong, spicy scent. Known for their bold, peppery taste, they are often added to Indian dishes like parathas, fritters, and lentils. These seeds are smaller and more intense in flavor than regular ajwain. Grown mainly in India, they are used in small amounts to bring sharpness to food. They also contain a little calcium and iron. Ajwain Desi Barik is popular for its strong aroma and flavor.
