Jet Black Cuttlefish Ink

A larger cousin to the squid, cuttlefish are another cephalopod that produce edible ink. Allowing any chef to add a deep velvet black tint to any dish, this is an essential for the well-stocked kitchen. The ink is very traditional in Mediterranean and Japanese cooking, adding incredible color, pleasant saltiness, a boost of umami, and a touch of sweetness wherever it lands.
