Tonka Beans

Tonka beans are the seeds of the tonka tree, scientifically known as Dipteryx odorata, which is native to Central and South America. These beans are known for their intense aroma and flavor, which is similar to a combination of vanilla, almond, and cinnamon.

Tonka beans are often used in culinary applications as a flavoring agent, particularly in desserts such as ice cream, cakes, and custards. They are also used in perfumes and other fragrances, as well as in some medicinal applications.
