Achira Leaves


This is a plant commonly found in the Ecuadorian highlands and used to wrap what are called ¨Quimbolitos¨, which are a dessert made with a cake-like batter, which is then wrapped in one of the Achira leaves and steamed. The leaves give a pleasant, very mild addition of flavor. I can't describe what it's like right now but next time I have one I will do my best.
