Ground Mahlep - 8gr - Ilios

Mahlep is an aromatic spice from the seeds of a cherry species.

Its flavor is similar to a combination of bitter almond and cherry.

Used in small quantities to refine sweet foods. While the recipe doesn't specifically call for this, try adding a teaspoon per cup of flour to your favorite sweet bread.

Like nutmeg and cinnamon, this spice can be used in savory dishes.

Whole seeds can be added to a rich pot roast, or use them grated in spice mixes, rubbing them on the surface of meats or in marinades.

Its flavor is particularly suitable for lamb.
