Trachyspermum ammi.
The Tantra of Great Gaṇapati specifies that this is a type of mustard root (yungs ma) and describes it as “the most supreme of all foods,” that is said to contain the eight supreme flavors (bitter; sour; astringent; sweet; spicy; salty; juicy; and savory) that act as antidotes to eight classes of diseases. It is also used as one of the primary bali offerings (gtor ma, bali) that is offered to Gaṇapati.
