Litsea cubeba, locally called "spicy ginger seed" and "mountain pepper," is a seasoning for many foods.
Litsea cubeba can be eaten fresh or pressed for oil. The oil's main components are limonene and methylheptenone. It can be used to prepare various foods, and can also be used as a flavor essence for products such as cigarettes, cosmetics, toothpaste, scented soap, and laundry soap. It is also the best raw material for synthesizing the ionone series of fragrances used in vitamin A.
What deserves special mention here is that when eating dumplings, rice noodles, or noodles, just add a drop and they become fragrant with a slight spiciness. When eating fresh fish, eel, loach, and the like, add one or two drops to the hot pot, and there is a special aromatic fragrance.
