<\/p>\nTimur berries grow in the purest of nature, at an altitude of around 2000 metres in the foothills of the Himalayas. The BBC’s 2018 list of the top 15 culinary trends for Timur says: “Timur berries from Nepal are tangy and vibrant, with a surprising grapefruit aftertaste, and a lingering, tickling spiciness on the palate.

It is a relative of the Szechuan berry and has a dissolving effect. In Nepal, these berries are often used to whet the appetite and boost the metabolism or immune system.
