Definitely give this a try!
I discovered Spices, Inc. while I was searching for amchur (mango powder), a staple of Indian cuisine. I was therefore really excited to see that they also sell this ajwain seeds (a.k.a. bishop's weed seeds), another Indian cooking staple that I've had trouble finding in small amounts. I had never tried them before, but now I'll always keep some in my pantry! The description provided by Spices, Inc. is accurate. They do taste like an assertive version of thyme, which is a great flavor. They're said to aid in digestion and are frequently used in bean and legume dishes. I can see myself using them in lots of non-Indian recipes. I think that I might try substituting these for celery seeds the next time I make potato or macaroni salad. Or I might add these to my next pot of navy bean soup. Try them for yourself! I promise you won't be disappointed.
