Kadwa Jeera Botanical Reference Material

Q: Is Kadwa Jeera the same as regular cumin?

No. Despite the shared “jeera” name, Kadwa Jeera ( Centratherum anthelminticum , family Asteraceae) is a botanically unrelated plant to ordinary cumin (Cuminum cyminum, family Apiaceae) and to kalonji/black cumin (Nigella sativa, family Ranunculaceae). Confirming identity via HPTLC is exactly how this confusion is avoided in raw-material sourcing.
