Description
Originating from Nepal, this Timur berry grows wild in the Mahabharat range between the Terai and the Pahar, at an altitude of over 2000 meters. Terai is the place where Buddha was born. There, Tharu villages are known for their earthen houses with thatched roofs. Timur berry is an essential spice among the populations of Terai in southern Nepal. Once the annual harvest is complete, Timur berries are dried and then sorted by hand.
Visually, Timur berry resembles a miniature chestnut, minus the spines, and leans towards brown. The aromatic notes of Timur berry echo grapefruit, flowers, exotic fruits, or camphor. In the mouth, this delicate berry reveals floral and fruity notes, slightly spicy. Use cracked or infused in your dishes, it will spice up your shellfish and fish and even your chocolate or fruit desserts.
