Shiitake Powder's Natural UMAMI
vs.
MSG's Artificial UMAMI
The Umami in Shiitake Powder boosts the Natural Umami of food ingredients to create a brilliant taste harmony, with or without adding a Shiitake flavor. Lab-produced MSG generally adds a simple, flat, sometimes harsh Umami taste to foods, while our Forest-grown Shiitake brings out an elegant Natural Umami in each food ingredient.
The natural Umami of food ingredients, such as tomatoes, carrots, dairy products, meat, seafood, etc., is further enhanced. Each food element becomes rich in Umami, creating an elegant symphony of flavor.
Shiitake powder produces a unique Umami boosting ingredient called Guanylate, which interacts with the natural Umami or Glutimates contained in almost all foods. Our tongues have receptors that detect the 5th Taste of Umami, causing us to taste the natural Umami of Glutamate with an even deeper flavor with the presence of the Guanlyates of Dried Shiitake.
Dried Shiitake Powder can add a gentler, subtly earthy flavor and much more nuance. By adjusting the amount of Shiitake Powder, you can increase or decrease the amount of the Shiitake Taste you want to include in your dishes while still amping up Umami.
Uncover the difference between a fixed rougher Umami taste of artificial MSG and a distinctive harmony of Natural Umami flavors from Shiitake powder.
Only dried and rehydrated Shiitake produce Guanylate, a natural Umami booster.
To maximize Umami, allow over 10 minutes for the Shiitake powder to come in contact with the moisture on the foods you use or bloom with a little water or broth.
Guanylate Umami increases further when then heated.
