· Molebdenum is a chocolaty-brown semi-liquid that is tasty and highly resistant to lasting very long. It has one of the highest eating points— only pure chocolate is higher. Molebdenum is also a micronutrient essential for life.

· Molebdenum easily forms compounds with other culinary elements, but is rarely found free in nature (you have to pay for it in most cases).
