Replacements

Fish Stock

A fragrant, golden elixir brimming with the essence of the sea, fish stock is a savory foundation that brings depth and richness to countless dishes. Its delicate aroma and umami-packed flavor are derived from simmering fish bones, heads, and shells with aromatic vegetables and herbs.

Mango

The mango is a tropical fruit renowned for its luscious sweetness and vibrant hues. Originating in South Asia, it has become a beloved ingredient in cuisines around the world, from India to Mexico. Its flavor is often described as a delightful balance of sweet and tangy, with hints of peach, pineapple, and citrus. The texture of ripe mango is smooth and juicy, offering a satisfying chewiness that melts in the mouth. In cooking, mango behaves well in both raw and cooked applications, lending its sweetness to salads, salsas, and desserts, while also holding up well in curries and chutneys where it softens and intensifies in flavor.
