That's because it's botanically completely unrelated. "Regular" sandalwood,
also called "yellow" or "white saunders" is Santalum album (family
Santalaceae), and is what you find in incense. It has been used medicinally,
but not culinarily. "Red sandalwood" is Pterocarpus santalinus, in a
completely different family (Leguminosae).
