                                Derived from the seeds of the *Dipteryx odorata* tree, the tonka bean is a sought-after culinary and perfumery ingredient with a taste more complex than its vanilla-like reputation suggests. Its flavor profile is a sophisticated blend of aromas, making it a powerful and versatile spice in both sweet and savory applications.
