Pollen Ranch Fennel Pollen
If angels sprinkled a spice from their wings, this would be it.
"Heady and honeylike with an herbaceous aroma so intoxicating that I bought several bags of the stuff. Back home in San Francisco, I sprinkled a pinch of it on fish before grilling. I scattered a bit over roasted vegetables; and, then tried it on pork roast. The effect in every case was positive and positively transformative."

Another Flavor Dimension
"My friend, Joe Simone, a chef from Boston, is also in love with fennel pollen. He makes a dry rub to smooth over pork chops or loins, on chicken and fish. He scatters it on rabbit before searing it for a braised stew. It could even be great sprinkled on slices of raw fish drizzled with olive oil. No matter what you use it on, the mysterious taste – neither like fennel seed nor anise, and a bit like curry – fennel pollen will add another flavor dimension."
