“I’ve been using plankton powder quite often. It’s got a unique crustacean flavor that enhances seafood. I’ve discovered a great pairing: truffle and plankton powder. The gorgeous earthiness and scent of truffle is brought to an entirely new level with the addition of the plankton powder.”
Nicknamed “sea spice,” plankton powder tastes like the ocean, with a briny, fresh seaweed flavor. Chefs are calling on this intriguing ingredient as a memorable flavor accent in a variety of dishes, sifting it into sauces and dusting it over plates.
