Peppercorns?
Whole and spherical, not particularly tasty. Changing their shape via grinding, however, unlocks fought-wars-over-the-stuff levels of tastiness.
Please explain.
They just have too much taste condensed into a tiny sphere, like mass in a white dwarf star. Grinding them down actually extends their surface area and if you were to toss the ground pepper in the air you'd create a haze of taste that may or may not cause a burning sensation in your eyes and respiratory system
You have me considering the flavor of Alderaan
In their base form they're an outlier. Ground up you unlock the full potential of the smallest spheres on the graph.
You gotta grind them into smaller, tastier spheres
