Pungent, spicy and bitter in flavor, this seed is often considered to have value as a food containing medicinal properties that help to soothe stomach discomfort or indigestion. It is also a common ingredient in some varieties of Garam Masala. Raw ajwain fruits have a very strong thyme-like flavour, since they have a greater concentration of thymol. Ajwain has been variously described as fruity, "spicy," hot and with a sweet, pleasant aftertaste. Ajwain is a very powerful spice, and can easily take over a dish with its strong, oily aroma, which is why it needs to be used with caution, added a little at a time, until the flavours are just balanced. They were often used as a remedy for a lot of household illnesses, as well as for post-partum nursing mothers.
