CONT

El ajowan tiene aroma a tomillo y es un poco picante y ligeramente amargo. Las semillas tienen colores de un color que va del pardo rojizo al pardo. Está estrechamente emparentado con la alcaravea y el comino. El ajowan tiene propiedades medicinales que ayudan a controlar ciertas alteraciones digestivas como la flatulencia, lo que le procura unas afinidades naturales con las legumbres y las féculas. La cocina hindú lo utiliza principalmente para preparar panes, legumbres (sobre todo las lentejas). Es poco utilizado en occidente.
