Samti Tumat

Samti Tumat is the rind/peel of the Tumat tree. Mature Tumats produce a strongly flavoured, lovely rind used often for tea or in deserts or other things. It can be chopped finely and mixed into desert items and in savoury items. Somewhat savoury and maple-syrupy in flavour. Immature Tumat rinds are much sharper, less sweet in flavour. Citrusy taste with a lot of burnt caramel tones and some bitterness. Used less for tea and more for other dishes and fresh in salads and the like.
