One of the most valuable spices in the world, with an aroma that never ceases to invoke memories of cozy evenings, spiced cider, seasonal baking and home cooked meals. Native to Indonesia but cultivated in a number of countries including Brazil. Became popular in Europe from the 8th century and quickly became one of the most valuable items in the 16th-17th centuries. Played a huge role in the East Indian and Spice Island trade. Its benefits dont end at its culinary uses as it hold an enormous source of biological activity and potential as a food preservative, therapeutic agent and insecticide!
