Country Onions are concentrated aroma power from the rainforest! They smell like onions and garlic and we think like smoked bacon! Our Country Onions come from the heart of the forest. There are people there who have used the rainforest for centuries as an inexhaustible source of food and medicine.
And: with your purchase you contribute to the preservation of rainforests, because it is worthwhile for the local people to invest in the care and sustainable use.
Wild collection from the rainforest
What makes our calabash nutmeg special? It is wild-collected directly from the steaming green rainforests of Cameroon. Local village communities protect the forest, which they have used sustainably for centuries as a source of food, material and medicine. This sustainable use by local people prevents forests from being endangered for short-term profit. You support people, nature and climate!
