Umami Seasoning is specifically designed to naturally enhance the savory flavors in beloved prepared foods. This carefully crafted blend deepens the umami experience on your favorite dishes through a combination of finely chopped porcini and shiitake mushrooms, garlic, onions, and sundried tomatoes.

“Umami,” meaning “pleasant savory taste” in Japanese, was designated as the fifth taste in 1985 after research proved that this taste was not produced by any combination of other basic tastes and carried its own specific receptor on the human taste palate. Scientifically speaking, umami is understood to come from glutamate and other naturally occurring compounds in products with a meaty or savory flavor. The flavor has been described as mild with a long-lasting aftertaste that quite literally stimulates the salivary glands, as foods with more umami cause mouthwatering.

This finely ground powder offers a remarkable complement and enhancement of the natural umami in food and can be sprinkled on foods as a seasoning while being prepared or served as a condiment to use with a dish. It’s great for grilled or roasted meats, fish, and poultry or to add extra richness to soups or stews.
