History:
Paracress (Acmella oleracea), often called the "toothache plant," is a South American herb with a long history of traditional use as a natural anesthetic for oral pain due to its high content of the compound spilanthol. Originating in the Amazon region, it has been used for centuries to relieve toothaches, gum infections, and as a culinary ingredient for its numbing, tingling sensation.
Flavor Profile:
A unique culinary experience starting with a fresh, zesty, or citrus-like taste, followed rapidly by a intense, tingling, numbing, or "electric" buzz.

Primarily used as a unique, high-end culinary garnish for salads, cocktails, and, specifically, in, savory dishes and molecular gastronomy to create, "tongue-buzzing" effects. Medicinally, they are used for their analgesic, saliva-stimulating, and anti-inflammatory properties.
