Organic tonka beans | whole | 2-3 cm

Hardly any spice enchants us more than the almond-shaped seed of the tonka tree. The essential oils of the tonka beans exude a scent of almonds, vanilla, woodruff and fresh hay and bewitch our senses. The spice is said to have an erotic and even hypnotic effect. The Tonka bean is often used as a vanilla substitute. Due to its very special character with a finely bitter note, however, the Tonka bean should not be reduced exclusively to sweet dishes. Tonka should be used sparingly as a spice. Depending on the use, for milk-based desserts it is advisable to boil the beans in milk for a few minutes or rub them a little with a nutmeg grater. Our Tonka beans come from pure wild collection. The wild collection area has been certified organic in advance.
