Pollen Ranch Fennel Pollen

I had fennel pollen dusted roast potatoes in a restaurant and got hooked on this spice. Fennel pollen so fragrant and savory, adds a lot to any vegetables tossed with olive oil & sea salt. Use in a cauliflower & white chicken chili- sensational! This tin is a generous quantity for the price and it’s fresh and fragrant, recommend!

This is magic in meatballs. Saw a Chef show with Roy Choi, changed my meatballs and marinara forever. Yum. Premium quality, aromatic, fresh. PRICEY.

Love the flavor it brings to dishes. Marries well with pork and fish. (Great as a crust for seared tuna!) My only complaint is the container. The lid is next to impossible to remove. I read in several other reviews that they had issues with this too, so I planned ahead. I put down some parchment paper on the counter (people complained about losing half the pollen when getting the container open). I tried the basic way of opening the container, bare handed, no luck. I tried opening it wearing silicon gloves, still no luck, that lid is on tight! Then I got out my handy dandy cooking mallet, put the container on its edge and hammered it a few times to bend it out of shape, did it again on the other side and was able to release the lid with minimal spillage. I then move the fennel pollen to a suitable container (small mason jar) and poured the bit I spilled on the parchment paper on top. Love the product, but be prepared to fight the container for it!

This is a great finishing touch, especially on sausage pizza. I also use it when making homemade meatballs. However, it is a subtle flavor that can be lost in a real loud dish with lots of bold seasonings, (like extra garlic and crushed red pepper).

This is the unsung hero of many a delicious dish that's elevated just slightly higher than it usually is. It might seem like a lot of money for a mere ounce, but it's worth the price. You use this sparingly, and add it to chicken, fish, beef, roasted vegetables, pasta (I'd use it with white/cream/light sauces, as tomato would overpower this), even in baked goods. Sprinkle a little on with the rest of your seasonings and you'll wonder how you've ever lived without fennel pollen in your spice rack. It doesn't have that strong licoricey flavor like fennel seed, so don't let its name scare you. The flavor is SO hard to describe, slightly sweet, very floral and aromatic. Remember, a little goes a long way. Try it and tell me you hate it. I dare you. :) For inspiration on how to use it, google "how to use fennel pollen". You'll often be greeted with a preface with the person describing how magical this stuff is, and how it truly adds a new amazing dimension to the flavor of your food.

Great price for fennel pollen! It’s great on chicken! Quality is good as well.

This is a full-flavored fennel product from a reliable and healthy source. I love it on meats!! Rubs and sauces are enhanced by this fragrant herb.

Works well and tastes good.
