Verbena lemon pepper I whole

Vietnam is a country dominated by agriculture and tourism with no significant industry. Thanks to a temperate to hot and humid tropical climate, there is a lush flora and fauna. Vietnam is famous for its independent and varied cuisine. Spices play a dominant role and are used in many different ways. While in neighbouring countries such as India or Thailand spices are very spicy, Vietnamese cuisine is characterised by an extraordinary variety. One of the most fascinating spices of South Asia is definitely verbena pepper. When the packaging is opened, the small berries exude an incomparable lemon aroma, delicate and fresh. With its mild pungency, subtle bitter aromas and intense citrus note, verbena pepper is a culinary enrichment for fish and seafood, poultry and Asian dishes. The aroma goes wonderfully with desserts and baked goods, jam or punch.
