'Fenn Shui' promises a "totally unique zen experience" that pairs pieces of fennel rot with a rice vinegar-based brine, ginger, citrus fest and Thai chiles. When it comes to enjoying the product, the brand recommends pairing it with meat, salads or even as a tangy replacement for onions—Pacific Pickle Works even offers a recipe for a Fenn Shui Burger where the product can be used as a substitute for the vegetable.
