Sempio Bonnet Bellflower Root in Spicy Sauce

$6.00

Probably Dan’s favorite of all the banchan, there’s really nothing like it. Crunchy, fresh, floral, but in the spicy sauce, it’s a kind of magic. Spicy flowers. Yeah. Goes great with rice and fish.

Description

Ingredients: salted bonnet bellflower root, water, polyglycitol syrup, hot pepper paste, sugar, garlic, hot pepper powder, vegetable seasoning, gluconic acid, salt, roasted sesame, modified starch, oleoresin paprika.

The terms “spiced” and “spicy” are used pretty much interchangeably in the tinned fish world, to mean two different things: with a hot pepper (or hot pepper flavor), and with cloves/bay/carrot/hot pepper. There are many examples of both terms being used to mean both things.

We are so frustrated by how widespread this confusing inconsistent usage is that we’ve gone through our entire product line to correct the incorrect ones such that our description of “spiced” or “spicy” will always indicate which it really is, regardless of the packaging. “Spicy” = with hot pepper flavor. “Spiced” = with the cloves/bay/carrot/hot pepper flavors.

    If you are a fan of radish kimchi, give this a try. It pairs well with grilled meat (bonus points if it’s Korean BBQ or bulgogi). The taste is a balanced sweet with a hint of spicy.

    I had never had Bellflower Root before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was very pleasantly surprised! I think they’re pretty similar in texture to roasted carrots, with a nice flavor. The sauce is also really good! A nice balance of sweet and spicy.

    These were really interesting. After opening the tin I grabbed the largest root and took a bite. The texture was tougher and more fibrous than expected but all the smaller roots were more pleasant. The flavor was powerful and very tasty. A bit like kimchi but better in my opinion. I had these as a snack with beer while cooking dinner and the pairing was great. Likely to buy again.
