Fennel Bulb
The fennel bulb is a versatile vegetable hailing from the Mediterranean region, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years. Its anise-like flavor is both sweet and slightly licorice-tinged, offering a unique aromatic profile that can enliven a variety of dishes. The texture of a fennel bulb is crisp and crunchy when raw, akin to celery or celery root, but it mellows into a tender, almost buttery consistency when cooked. In culinary applications, fennel bulbs are known for their ability to absorb flavors while contributing their own distinct taste. They can be sliced thinly for salads, braised for a hearty side dish, or roasted to caramelize their natural sugars.
Cocoa Powder
A rich, velvety powder made from roasted cocoa beans, cocoa powder brings a deep chocolate flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. Its aroma is warm and inviting, with notes of earthiness and a touch of bitterness.
