Ajowan Organic Essential Oil, 10ml

Originating from India, our organic Ajowan essential oil is steam-distilled from the seeds of the Ajowan plant. It releases a warm, spicy, and slightly bitter aroma, often compared to thyme and cumin, with a powerful, stimulating presence.

Ajowan is an annual plant growing between 30 and 90 cm, producing small white to pale pink flowers arranged in umbels. It thrives in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil and is traditionally cultivated in India and parts of the Middle East. Once the seeds have matured, the plants are harvested and carefully dried in the shade to preserve their aromatic richness.

Ajowan seeds have long been used as a culinary spice in Indian and Middle Eastern traditions, valued for their pungent, warming flavour and aromatic intensity.
