In Cameroon, country onions and the bark of the tree are used as a condiment and in traditional medicine. Country onions are little flavor bombs that pack a punch and offer complex flavor similar to garlic, with hints of onion. This unique condiment comes into season once mostly every two years, but it's worth the wait as it will take you on a whole new flavor adventure.
