Thomas Vilgis, a physicist at the Max Planck Institute and one of Germany's most important food researchers, developed it as part of his spice-based worlds of flavour. We mix and fill it in our manufactory in Klingenberg am Main. Sea notes from wakame, citrus acidity from Timut pepper and pomegranate, herb freshness from chervil and dill and a subtle heat from green pepper let light, water-rich ingredients appear in a completely new light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 0.8em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWASSER is concentrated and complex, so use it sparingly. Season melon such as watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew with it, scatter it over leaf salads with olive oil and lemon, over vegetable salads of cucumber, radish and fennel, or over red fruits such as strawberries and raspberries. On raw or gently cooked sea fish, in ceviche and carpaccio, its mineral freshness comes into its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e A few pinches are enough.
