So I happen to have run into Jill, we're a long time friends, her book Vegan Under Pressure because you know, you can see behind me there's a lot of Rancho Gordo beans and her pressure cooker book is fabulous. And um, I was thinking about the cardamom extract. That's what led me to meet Ori at the Fancy Food Show. I went and I saw the burlap and barrel booth and I said, cardamom extract. I haven't seen that before. And coincidentally, my kids, my, they're all adults, many of you know that I'm a grandma, had come back from Sweden and my son said, mom, the cardamom that's used is so amazing. So I've been using the extract with vanilla extract or with almond extract or by itself and it adds such a gorgeous flavor. So I would say Jill use it just like any other extract. What would you say, Ori? Totally. And we love Rancho Gordo. And, and the beans are a big part. I this I'm a proud bean club member, uh, myself. And so I totally get it. Uh, the card extract came out of almost like a a, an accident. We had more card seeds than we knew what to do with. And so we ended up reaching out to our friends at Bitter Cube Bitters and asked them if they could help us, a bitters company, what are they doing other than extracting flavors? And so we sent them the card. As you can see, Fran was holding there. Um, and they made this really beautiful extract out of the cardamom that's got this like kind of golden yellow flavor. Um, so, so totally agree with you Fran. Anywhere you use vanilla extract or almond extract, try to sub it out for carbon extract and see what happens. It's a really nice kind of like twist on something. Um, but I also really like it. Throw a few dabs in coffee. Um, throw a few dabs in. Just anywhere where you think you could use a little bit of like, I love carbon flavor in general, primarily like in sweets, but, um, and cardamon buns and all that. But just try to try to amp it up a little bit in anywhere in, in cakes and desserts. Um, yes, in puddings and all that, it'll integrate really nicely. And it is an alcohol based extract to be aware it's 40% alcohol. Um, and so it, not to say that you're gonna use enough to really make your morning coffee into something that you didn't mean it to be, but a few dabs will go a long way. But especially as you bake something or cook something, the alcohol pretty quickly cooks off. And so then you're just left with this pure deep cardone flavor. That's important to know.
