What is Ajwain?

Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) is a small, oval seed known for its special taste, which is similar to thyme because it has a lot of thymol. It is often used in breads, chutneys, and lentils, making it common in kitchens at home and in restaurants. Aside from cooking, ajwain spice is also important in the personal care field for its benefits.

Types, Varieties & Forms

Ajwain is usually processed very little to keep its essential oils strong and can be found on the Nutrada platform in different forms:

• Whole Ajwain Seeds: These seeds are commonly used in spice mixes, flatbreads, and tasty snacks.
• Ajwain Powder: This is finely ground and is ideal for seasoning mixes and food production.
• Ajwain Oil: This oil is extracted for its thymol and is used in medicine and beauty products.

Harvest Season

Ajwain is usually harvested from February to April. India and Iran are the main producers. The price of ajwain varies based on the size of the crop, the concentration of essential oil (especially thymol), and the quality of cleaning. As a specialty spice, ajwain prices can rise when there is less rainfall or more demand from Ayurvedic industries.

Producing Countries

India is the top producer and exporter of ajwain, supplying almost all of it to the world. The main states in India that grow ajwain are Gujarat (33.12% of India’s supply), Rajasthan (28.48%) and Madhya Pradesh (27.45%) in 2021-22 season.

Other countries also grow ajwain:

• Iran is known for its ajwain with a special smell and high thymol content.
• Egypt produces some ajwain, mostly for nearby marketplaces.
• Afghanistan has a history of producing strong ajwain.

India's strong infrastructure for drying, cleaning, and exporting ajwain makes it the best choice for buyers around the world.

Trends

Ajwain is gaining new attention as both a spice and a supplement for digestion and gut health. In the herbs and spices market, it is appearing more often in functional spice mixes, coatings for gluten-free snacks, and teas inspired by Ayurveda. Its strong taste helps with low-sodium recipes by adding flavor and aroma without extra salt.

Ajwain Manufacturers

Nutrada has a network of ajwain producers who focus on seed spices and are ready for exporting. These suppliers offer whole and powdered ajwain that is mechanically cleaned. It can also be heat-treated or sterilized to meet food safety standards. The products are ready for use in spice blends, extracts, or retail packaging.

‍

Bulk Ajwain

Ajwain is usually sold in 10 to 25 kilogram food-safe sacks or boxes for wholesale and industrial purposes. Buyers who prefer to buy ajwain in bulk are spice companies, health supplement companies, wholesalers and manufacturers. They look for these herbs because of their strong smell and high oil content. At Nutrada we always recommend to request lab tests to ensure compliance with microbial and heavy metal standards. Since ajwain is sensitive to moisture and light, it needs controlled storage conditions to maintain its potency and flavor over time.

‍

Private Label Ajwain

With the rising demand for authentic Indian spices and ethnic blends, ajwain offers a fantastic opportunity for private label brands. Nutrada can help you collaborate with suppliers who provide custom retail pouches and glass jars, along with labeling that meets EU, US, or Middle Eastern standards. Whether you're creating a health-focused spice line or a series of regional cuisine offerings, a private label service can give your brand direct access to the spice market.
