Jak ji poznat

Market part

fresh or dried fruit/pericarp used as an aromatic spice; seeds may be removed from dried spice material depending on processing.

Plant and fruit cues

DOA describes Z. myriacanthum as a thorny tree with oil-gland aromatic leaves; fruit is small, roughly round and rough-surfaced, green when developing, strongly aromatic, with seed colour progressing toward dark/black at full maturity.

Harvest quality cue

DOA Chiang Mai guidance warns that immature fruit dries poorly, does not develop the expected dark mature colour, shrivels or may mould, and loses aroma; mature material is selected for drying and spice use.

Jak se jí a připravuje

Nejčastěji se používá usušený aromatický plod/oplodí jako severothajské koření do směsí na larp, kari a další místní jídla. DOA také dokumentuje čerstvé plody nakládané v rybí omáčce jako přílohu. Dávkování se má přizpůsobit receptu a intenzitě konkrétní šarže; profil nezavádí jednu univerzální lžičkovou dávku.
