Sale price 9,90 €

This Organic Tonka Bean harvested in French Guiana from Max Daumin is gathered in the Amazon rainforest in French Guiana (FR), the Tonka bean is a remarkable spice for desserts and pastries. This spice delivers flavors between almond and vanilla, enhanced with caramelized notes. It is surprising. In addition, our bean is made in France and certified organic by Ecocert. The Tonka bean is the seed of a tree: the Dipteryx Odorata (or Kumaru, Coumarou or Brazilian Teak). It grows mainly in the Amazon (Brazil, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana). The tree, which can easily reach 20-30m, produces a fruit resembling a small mango. Inside it is a seed: it is the Tonka bean. A few words about the choice of packaging: The carton is made and printed in Isère. This over-packaging, i.e. the 10 cartons in a box, represents 2/3 of an 80g A4 sheet. This allows you to preserve your spices completely without them deteriorating.
