Its name comes from an aroma that recalls cinnamon, clove and nutmeg at once, though it is the dried berry of a single plant. In Turkish cooking it is essential to sucuk and stuffing mixtures.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
