bitter, sharp, and slightly peppery or spicy when raw, with a deep, lingering assertiveness

• Raw: Features a bold, punchy bitterness with a crisp texture that mellows out when paired with sweet or rich foods like citrus, honey, nuts, and cheese.
• Cooked (Grilled, Roasted, or Sautéed): The bitterness softens significantly, developing a deep, nutty, and mildly sweet flavor profile with a touch of savory caramelization
