Raw cacao nibs and beans
The bean for chocolate! This complex, bitter flavor is similar to unsweetened chocolate. A garnish that may be toasted (reduces the bitterness) first or simply sprinkled raw over any dish to pack a crunch and gain antioxidants to aid in reducing inflammation. These seeds from the fruit of a tree are found packaged in the baking aisle at the grocer, either in whole bean or as nibs.
Pomegranate
This antioxidant-rich fruit offers seeds with a crunch as satisfying as an apple. Each seed bursts with juiciness and may be a garnish to any dish that would benefit from its flavor profile, texture, and color.
