Umami Seasoning with Mushrooms and Garlic Onion, 10.5 oz

What a great addition to any dish. it helps turn bland food into a meal fit for a king.

Really enhances the taste and makes burgers juicer😀

a great flavor spice combination, which has added a great flavor to the items I have used it on. highly recommended!!

KEEP IN MIND, that an "umami" blend isn't meant to add specific/notable pungent spice flavors. This isnt a spice blend per say, but a variety of spices that come together to help create an overall "umami" (Umami, being another one of the tastes our tongues recognize along with salt, sweet, bitter, and sour, it is generally described as having a “savory” or “meaty” quality). I think this does the job (and this is where nuance comes into play as there is more than one way to achieve umami ie soy, miso, kelp, mushroom, etc) Pleasant savory flavor, easy to use, versatile. I will often use more savory spices, or some soy, and/or mushroom powder to boost the savory umami flavor. Umami doesnt always have to be salty. It just needs to expand the tastebuds to pick up on a slightly meaty essence. Hence why mushrooms and soy are often used. But some products are way overloaded with sodium. This has its fair share at 100 mg per 1/4 tsp serving, but it isn't going to push my intake over the edge. Has a powder like consistency. Not at all granular. Think more like a mushroom powder. Has a nice easy taste that works well sprinkled ON foods (potatoes! eggs, egg noodles, etc), or doled out into a recipe (meatballs, meatloaf, burgers, veggie burgers, roasts, seitan, gravy, etc). I recommend using it as BASE of flavor, then working up from there with other spices. But by all means, give this a try alone too. I like it sprinkled into my sipping broths, where some need a little added oomph

Love this multi-purpose seasoning!

I started this journey by watching several youtube video's about Umami. Ended up at Amazon thinking I would end up making my own. Stumbled into the McCormick Umami seasoning with mushroom and onion. Used tonight for the first time. Now I am 73 + and have been making Speghetti sauce for 5 or 6 out of those 7+ decades. Just ate the best homemade sauce of my life. 1 lb mild Itialian Sausage, 2 containers of Baby Bella mushrooms, one Ragu sauce. 3 small shakes of Umami on the cooked sausage, made sauce as usual. I am VERY happy with this purchase. Glad I purchased 2. Will be trying on lots of things. You just might want to also.

We use this on everything and it gives it that extra touch that you’re looking for!

I have used this umami seasoning for quite some time as a substitute for a mushroom flavor in many recipes. My husband truly hates mushrooms, but it gives that nice umami flavor without the subjection of mushrooms. The consistency is always there with this seasoning, and it seems like a nice mixture, seeming always to have sturdiness in the fridge with its bottle, and I have never had moisture issues. I have always kept mine in the fridge since most other brands recommend it for the mushrooms' content to keep it fresher longer. This has been the best brand that gives me value for the money since this seasoning is usually quite pricy.

Just received the seasoning today 12Dec24 and I saw that the expiry date is 1Jan 25!!! With just 2 weeks left to finish the whole 10ounce???!! I find it absurd! Very disappointed.

Soooo yummmmmm

Not sure about this product. Shaking a moderate amount produces little change of taste... to use a lot, would be prohibitively expensive. Will keep experimenting.
