Rhamnus prinoides
Épice amère centrale dans la cuisine éthiope et la médecine traditionnelle, utilisée en équivalent de thym dans le vin de l'honey tez.
Ethiopian Gesho (Rhamnus prinoides) is a bittering herb central to Ethiopian cuisine and traditional medicine, used as a hops equivalent in tej honey wine. It is employed for antimicrobial, antifungal, and digestive bitter purposes, with key active compounds including rhamnazin, quercetin, kaempferol, and tannins. Evidence is limited (Level C) for modern uses, with strong traditional backing for digestive and antimalarial applications.
The bitter principles (rhamnazin, quercetin, kaempferol) stimulate bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) on the tongue and in the gut, triggering vagal reflexes that increase gastric acid secretion, bile flow, and digestive enzyme release. Flavonoids like quercetin exhibit antimicrobial activity by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting DNA gyrase, while tannins provide astringent and antifungal effects through protein precipitation. The antimalarial action is attributed to quercetin and kaempferol interfering with heme polymerization in Plasmodium parasites.
