Grown in the remote mountains of northern Laos, Mak Khen, also known as wild pepper or prickly ash, has been prized for centuries for its unique aroma and gentle, tongue-tingling warmth.
Harvested by hand and certified Fair Trade, this rare spice is used by Lao hill tribes such as the Akha and Hmong to season grilled meats, soups, and stews, adding a distinctive citrusy heat unlike any other pepper.
A traditional ingredient with deep cultural roots and natural medicinal properties, Mak Khen brings an authentic taste of the Lao highlands to your kitchen.
