Kochia Scoparia Tonburi says "Caviar Fields" 300 g

These are seeds from the Houkigi or Kochia scoparia plant, an Akita Prefecture regional specialty.
The black and green pearled seeds, 1 to 2 mm in diameter resemble fish eggs, with a very crunchy texture and a taste of brocoli and artichoke.
In Japan tonburi, has become an essential ingredient of the Akita Buddhist vegetarian Shojin-ryori cuisine.
In Japan it is known as the "CAVIAR" of the fields.
The crunchiness will surprise you.

Our perfect combination : it accompanies smoked fish ( salmon, eel, halibut, haddock ) or can be blended into a mayonnaise.
It garnishes blinis and other savory reductions…, it brings out all the taste of tofu, sashimi, soy sauce, miso…

The secret of success is to season just before serving !
