Umami is one of the five basic tastes, along with sweet, sour, bitter and salt. Seaweed is naturally high in umami and when it is added to other umami foods it enhances the rich, savoury taste.

We have added tomato, mushroom, onion, garlic, salt and pepper to our Seaweed mix to stimulate the taste buds whilst also adding nutritional goodness.
