ORGFUN Original Shiitake Mushrooms Powder, Natural Umami Seasoning, Mushroom Powder for Cooking, 5.3 Oz

I love this product. I use it in so many recipes, whether it is soups or stews or marinades or ramens or gravy. And I use it in an evening tea which is proving to be amazing in helping me to relax and fall asleep and feel so refreshed in the morning.Umami is the fifth flavor, and I now know why.

If you know umami, you know how absolutely amazing Umami is. If you don't know, it does not taste like mushrooms, that isn't what this is. Umami is a BURST of absolutely amazing SAVORY flavor that you just cannot explain. Any soup, doesn't matter. Any broth, it's just a magical flavor I am so absolutely excited I found. In the 5yrs since I've found this, every 10,20,30+ get together, holiday, whatever, EVERYONE wants to know if I'm bringing the "base".....

I think this is a great product for enhancing the flavor of soups, stews, and sauces.

It's a very fine powder. I bought it to make a mushroom bullion. The flavor isn't very powerful, though I am only comparing that to my expectation and not to other powders. That may just be how mushroom powders are. It is good and it dies have a mild umami flavor, but I haven't been able to coax a big mushroom flavor out of it.

Excellent taste. Good value.

I find I have to use more to make a difference in taste or flavor.

Absolutely disgusting. I have bought other shitake base umami seasoning that tasted great. This taste like something moldy and mildewy. It's not spoiled. The packaging and bottle seal were intact. The flavor is just horrible. Unfortunately not returnable.

This product adds great flavor to all my meals. It’s a bit chunky in the container but breaks up easily and returns to a powder form. Easy to use, great size for the price. Great quality. Highly recommend
