Originally from northern Congo, Likouala pepper, also known as “Ashandi pepper”, is harvested by the Baakas tribe. Ashanti pepper grows in the wild on vines which creep up more than 20 metres high. Outstanding lingering taste. Used in the traditional Congolese dish: “Ashanti grilled chicken”.
Originally from tropical Africa, sesame was then introduced to Lebanon. Once roasted, it releases notes of hazelnut which will enchant breads, fish, avocados, mangos and roast apples.
This variety of sesame with its distinctive aroma is widely used in Asia, sprinkled over noodles, cabbage salads or mixed into a paste to flavour ice creams and pastries.
