Yondu Vegetable Umami Essence (150ml) - Premium, Vegan Plant-Based Sauce for Mild & Flavorful Cooking. Great for Soups, Stir-fries & Sauces.

This is a really lovely seasoning, I can't do without it now. Added to soups, stews, casseroles, stir fries etc. it adds just a hint of the orient.

A chef friend recommended this product, and what can I say? I LOVE IT.Yondu helps round out any dish, and I mean ANY dish. Soups, stews, noodle dishes, bolognese—any dish at all is improved with Yondu; I have yet to find one that isn't. It is salty, as it has a soy sauce base, so I suggest any seasoning occurs after adding Yondu and tasting to avoid embarrassing over-salting incidents.Get a small bottle first to ensure you like it, but I recommend getting the big one if you do. It is cheaper ml for ml. I have also created a subscribe and save to reduce the price by another 10% as it is quite a pricey ingredient. It is well worth it, though; I used to just buy granulated MSG (which is way cheaper), but after blind tasting a dish both with Yondu and with MSG (I halved it and then added), the Yondu won out and by a massive margin (this was the case for my whole household).This is one of those times when going the expensive route is the right choice.That's the subjective opinion but what about the objective? Well, it's a quality product, organic, vegan, and best of all it's not horrendous for you.Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

Yondu Vegetable Umami Essence combines fermented soy and vegetable stock. it adds a softer more nuanced umami taste than for instance an aged soy-sauce. Hence, is a versatile condiment that is useful in a range of dishes. It isn't cheap but is economical in use. At 15% sodium, I would like to see a reduced sodium option. Hence four stars

This bouillon is amazing, it gives rice, stews and any kind of meat or fish a beautiful depth of flavour. Its is a bit pricey but a little goes a long way....no need for additional salt. Excellent product.

Absolute delicious. Will be buying it for years to come.

The taste is REALLY GREAT but it’s REALLY SALTYIF THEY COULD REDUCE 50% OF THE SALT WOULD BE 100%

I love this. So tasty. I'm a Yondu fanatic.

I love this stuff - you can put it in/on almost anything! Nice to know it's all natural too.
