Espelette pepper, slightly spicy, comes to us from the Basque Country, while cinnamon, hot and sweet, is a popular spice in Southeast Asia. Finally, Ginger, in pieces for more freshness, is a must in Asian cuisine. Benefits and Virtues In addition to their exquisite flavors, these spices have beneficial properties for health. Tonka Bean has anti-inflammatory properties, while Green Cardamom promotes good digestion. Espelette pepper is rich in vitamin C and cinnamon, in addition to being deliciously fragrant, has antioxidant properties. Ginger, for its part, is known for its anti-nausea benefits. Culinary Uses Tonka Bean can be grated over pancakes or in crème brûlée for an exotic dessert. Green Cardamom can be used to flavor a cup of tea or to enhance the flavor of a vegetable curry.
