The Tonka Beans (ή αλλιώς σπόροι τόνκα) είναι οι αποξηραμένοι σπόροι του δέντρου Dipteryx odorata. Με πλούσιο άρωμα που θυμίζει βανίλια, αμύγδαλο, κανέλα και καραμέλα, οι σπόροι αυτοί χρησιμοποιούνται ευρέως στη ζαχαροπλαστική, στη μαγειρική αλλά και στην αρωματοποιία.

Μόνο μία μικρή ποσότητα αρκεί για να δώσει στα γλυκά σας, στα ροφήματα ή στα αλκοολούχα ποτά μια εξαιρετική, φίνα γεύση και άρωμα.
