Ajwain honey, a thick and golden-hued variant with a mild, sweet taste and herbal aroma, represents a dark honey variation ranging from burnt amber to mahogany, occasionally bearing a red wine tint. Sourced from the ajwain flower in the northern region of India, this honey, also known as carom honey, is reputed to offer health benefits for stomach issues, albeit with a hint of bitterness according to some. Ajwain, recognized by various names such as ajowan caraway, omam, thymol seeds, and bishop’s weed, features leaves and seed-like fruit consumed by humans. Renowned for its healing properties, Ajwain honey possesses the ability to combat bacteria and fungi due to its natural content of hydrogen peroxide, functioning as an antiseptic and adding to its therapeutic allure.
