Description
Caraway Seed comes from the plant Carum carvi and has been used for centuries in cooking and traditional remedies. The seeds contain essential oils such as carvone and limonene, along with flavonoids and fiber that aid digestion. Caraway helps relax intestinal muscles, reduce gas, and ease bloating, making it useful for digestive comfort. Beyond the gut, its antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds support general wellness. Widely used as a spice, it also appears in breads, teas, and herbal blends.
