Ancient Sanskrit texts describe this spicy, nutty herb that has long played a dominant role in Indian cuisine and culture. From its integration into Ayurveda medicine practices dating back to the 4th century, to traditional Indian curries and teas, this tropical herb has made its way into Western culture thanks to its undeniably authentic flavor and positive homeopathic benefits. The plant has white to lilac flowers, but the plant's seeds are used to create both the aromatic spice and the coveted essential oil.
