Tonka beans whole
Do not use instead of but with vanilla - magically exotic.
Nice for desserts, sauces (dark gravies) and dressings as well as with chocolate, poppy seeds, nuts (especially walnuts), coconut and vanilla.
Can be combined well with: cocoa and vanilla.
Tips: pour over the finished food with a grater. You can also cook the tonka beans whole and remove them before eating. So they can be used up to ten times. Dose carefully.
The tonka bean is not a bean but the seeds of the fruit of the South American tonka tree. They are placed in rum for a day, which starts fermentation.
