tonka bean
A tonka bean is a small, wrinkled seed from the fruit of the Dipteryx odorata tree, a tropical tree native to South America. This bean is prized for its intense aroma described as a blend of vanilla, almond, cinnamon, and clove-like scents. It's often used in perfumery, and despite regulations in some countries due to its coumarin content, it is also used in cooking for its unique flavor.
