The flesh is dense and juicy without being watery, with a thicker skin that holds its structure well under heat. The deep mahogany-green colour is entirely natural and intensifies when cooked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"use-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"em\"\u003e🍳\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePan-roasted whole\u003c\/strong\u003e — Blister in a dry cast iron pan until the skin chars at the shoulders. The contrast between the caramelised exterior and the jammy, sweet interior is extraordinary.
