Default New, unusual ingredients, pleasant surprises

What are some of the new ingredients and products that you've tried lately? They may have sounded bad, but tasted great. Here are some of mY recent finds:

Pea milk by "Ripple"- A little starchy, very slight green hue, but tastes awesome.

Aquafaba- It's the liquid left in the can of beans, usually garbanzos. It whips up like whipped cream. Tastes great, a little on the light side in texture compared to whipped cream.

Gochujang- Korean, fermented chili paste. OMG...SO GOOD!!!
The mother of all great hot sauces and pastes. It has a depth of flavor that nothing else does. A little goes a long ways.

Seaweed crackers- They look aweful, green and dry, but they're actually pretty tasty and healthy too.
