Meet The Spanish Peas That Sell for $350 Per Pound
Enter the guisante lágrima.When Jaime hit on this pea varietal, preserved by his grandfather and adapted by him, he knew he had something special. These peas are best eaten raw, which is how they are served (albeit with a generous spoonful of caviar) at Mugaritz, the number four restaurant in the world according to the 2013 San Pellegrinoâs Worldâs 50 Best Restaurants. The peasâ flavor is surprising: A crunchy burst at first bite gives way to an herbaceous sweetness. âExquisite,â says Iñigo Galatas, the food critic for San Sebastiánâs local newspaper. âTheir freshness is pure springtime. What is most fascinating is the sweetness when they explode in your mouth. Itâs truly like caviar from the ground, substituting sweetness for the salt.â - Modern Farmer
