Ajwain
Ajwain are small, oval-shaped, seed-like fruits which are pale brown schizocarps, which resemble the seeds of other plants in the family Apiaceae such as caraway, cumin and fennel.
They have a bitter and pungent taste, with a flavour similar to anise and oregano. They smell almost exactly like thyme because they also contain thymol.
