爐上一壺印度奶茶、一盤冬日餅乾,或是一鍋香氣四溢的印度香飯,只要加入幾顆綠豆蔻,便瞬間散發出花香與芬芳。輕壓幾顆豆蔻,整顆丟進沸騰的牛奶裡煮成印度香料奶茶;塞進米飯和咖哩中增添香氣;或將內部的黑色種子磨碎,加入蛋糕和甜麵包中。淡綠色的外殼保護著內部黏稠的黑色種子,而真正的香氣就藏在其中。

整顆豆蔻是保存期限最長的形態。密封在豆莢中,揮發性油脂被牢牢鎖住,直到你壓碎它們才會釋放,因此烹調時香氣最為濃郁。我們在波特蘭包裝整顆綠豆蔻,並特意保留豆莢完整:讓你在下鍋前自行研磨或壓碎。

在印度家庭中,綠豆蔻(小荳蔻)是印度香料奶茶、節慶米飯和甜點的靈魂,以其清涼、花香般的甜味備受珍視。同樣的清新感也融入北歐烘焙,磨碎的豆蔻為麵包捲和節慶麵包增添風味。無論在哪種廚房,少許豆蔻就能發揮畫龍點睛之效。

單一成分:綠豆蔻豆莢。無鹽、無糖、無防腐劑。天然無麩質且純素。

如何壓碎豆蔻豆莢而不壓傷種子?
用刀背或擀麵棍按壓每顆豆莢,直到外殼裂開。將整顆裂開的豆莢丟入沸騰的液體中,上桌前撈出外殼;或刮出細小的黑色種子,研磨後用於烘焙。

我應該使用多少豆蔻?
豆蔻香氣濃郁。煮一壺奶茶或米飯時,先從兩到三顆豆莢開始;烘焙餅乾時,則用一小撮磨碎的種子,然後依口味調整。

綠豆蔻和黑豆蔻有什麼不同?
綠豆蔻帶有花香、甜味和清涼感,適合甜鹹料理。黑豆蔻體積較大,帶有煙燻味,以火烘乾,適合濃郁的燉菜和重口味咖哩。兩者無法直接互相替代。

如何保存整顆豆莢?
將豆莢放入密封罐中,遠離高溫和光線。整顆豆莢的香氣保存時間遠比預先磨好的豆蔻粉長,這也是我們以這種方式販售的原因。

這是純豆蔻嗎?
是的。整顆綠豆蔻豆莢,無任何添加物。

Hannah ★★★★★

These pods are incredibly fragrant—one whiff and I'm already tasting the biryani I'm planning for dinner. They hold up beautifully simmered whole in the pot, and the floral aroma fills the whole kitchen.

Lucy M. ★★★★★

I’ve been crushing two pods into my morning chai before the milk simmers, and the whole kitchen smells like a spice market. The pods stay fragrant even after the pot sits for a bit, and they’re plump enough to split easily with a spoon.

George X. ★★★★★

These little pods are incredibly fragrant—one cracked open and dropped into my chai made the whole kitchen smell like a spice market. They held their aroma through a full simmer and gave the milk a lovely, subtle floral warmth.
