Collection: Spices from the mountains

The high mountains are home to a large number of spices, including Ethiopian korarima, a type of cardamom.

The mountainous northwest of Vietnam, for example, is home to the Indian mountain pepper (Zanthoxylum rhetsa) or Mac khen, a small Szechuan pepper, but also the berries of the tulip tree, called 'black gold' because they are roasted deep black before being ground, and the ant fruits of Clausena indica, comparable to Oriental sumac.
