Tonka beans whole - Brazil

For our sweet tooth! A few tonka beans are sufficient per litre of dessert, but they are indispensable in dessert cuisine!

use

The tonka bean is also used very sparingly in desserts based on poppy seeds or coconut. In addition, they are used for biscuits and cakes, only tiny amounts are added to the dough. Finally, the tonka bean is also suitable for chocolate desserts and is also used as a substitute for bitter almonds. Italian tomato sauce with a hint of tonka bean also tastes heavenly. The bean is very hard and is best rubbed with a nutmeg grater. For cream- or milk-based desserts, the beans are boiled for about ten minutes, and they can be used up to ten times. They can also be pickled in rum.

Good to know

The tonka bean is used by gourmets and in upscale gastronomy to season typical vanilla desserts as a trendy alternative to vanilla, e.B. for panna cotta, crème brûlée, pudding, soufflé or vanilla ice cream.

The tonka bean tastes of vanilla and marzipan and has a noble bitter, hay-like note. The smell is inviting and downright hypnotic. The tonka bean goes best with other sweet spices such as cinnamon, saffron or vanilla.

manufacturing

The Tonka tree (Dipteryx odorata) is a species of flowering plant in the Family Dipteryxidae. The tonka beans are the almond-shaped seeds of the ripe fruit. In the fresh tonka beans, the taste-determining coumarin is bound. To release it, the beans are pickled in rum for 24 hours and then dried, causing a fermentation process to take place. After that, the coumarin content can be up to 10%.
