In the savory realm, it adds a subtle sweetness to root vegetable soups, braised meats, and rich tomato-based stews. It also functions beautifully in dry rubs for grilling. For a comforting beverage option, stir a small amount into coffee, hot chocolate, or masala chai. It also naturally enhances fruit-based desserts, particularly those featuring apples, pears, or figs.
