Import Ajwain Seed — Buy in wholesale FOB from Supplier in India

Ajwain Seed from Cj International is a whole, dried fruit of Trachyspermum ammi, a herbaceous plant native to India. The seeds are small, oval, and grayish-brown with a strong, pungent aroma and a bitter, thyme-like flavor.

Ajwain is also rich in other essential oils, including gamma-terpinene, para-cymene, and alpha-pinene, which contribute to its distinct sensory profile. Standard industry grades for Ajwain Seed include a moisture content of 8 to 10 percent, a volatile oil content of 1 to 3 percent, and a foreign matter limit of 2 percent maximum, ensuring consistency in quality for bulk buyers.
