Tonka beans, ground, organic

DE-OKO-001 Tonka beans are the seeds of the tonka tree. The tree, which belongs to the butterfly family, is originally native to northern South America. Today its fermented seeds mostly come from Venezuela and Nigeria. Similar to vanilla, tonka beans can be used to flavor ice cream, pudding or souffles. Their smell is sweet and strongly aromatic. They have a slightly bitter taste. A hint of the tonka bean aroma is enough to give sweet and savory dishes that exotic something.
