Claire Dinhut, who's known as @condimentclaire on TikTok and Instagram, shared a brief video highlighting the ingredient as part of an apricot jam recipe.
The American-French social media star described that the ingredient 'smells and tastes of vanilla, but like a very almond hay vanilla, kind of like [the plant] woodruff.' The spice, which is quite popular in France, is in fact the seed of the South American cumaru tree. But despite being used regularly in recipes around the world, Claire explained that she cannot get hold of the ingredient in her native US, because it has been banned.
