Leed Tree Peeled 100g -FRESH PLEASE CHOOSE THE NEXT DAY DELIEVRY
Add a Satisfying Crunch to Your Thai Salads with Fresh Lead Tree Seeds (Kratin)
Discover a unique texture and flavor beloved in Thai countryside cuisine with Fresh Peeled Lead Tree Seeds, known locally as "Kratin." These small, flat green seeds come from the Leucaena leucocephala tree and are prized for their fresh, grassy taste, subtle garlic-like aroma, and satisfying crispness.
We have done the tedious work of peeling the pods for you, offering 100g of ready-to-eat seeds. In Thailand, these are a classic accompaniment to spicy dishes. They are famously sprinkled over Papaya Salad (Som Tum) to add a burst of nutty crunch or served alongside fresh vegetables to be eaten with spicy chili dips (Nam Prik).
