Tonka Beans Whole
Botanical Name: Dipteryx odorata
Tonka bean is a tree. The fruit and seed are used to make medicine.
Historically, people used tonka bean as medicinal herbs to make tonics to increase sexual desire (as an aphrodisiac).
Some people apply tonka bean directly to the affected area for mouth ulcers, earache, and sore throat.
In manufacturing, coumarin, one of the active constituents of tonka bean, is used as a flavoring and fragrance in various products in food, liquor, tobacco, soap, and cosmetics.
In foods, the seeds are used to make a nutty-flavored beverage.
