A Natural Umami Seasoning With a Touch of Chilli
Mingle Chilli Umami Seasoned Salts bring a savoury, deeply satisfying umami flavour to everyday cooking, with a gentle chilli warmth layered through it. Rather than relying on added MSG, the umami here comes from real ingredients: dried seaweed, nutritional yeast and mushroom powder, blended with Australian sea salt.
It's a versatile jar to keep near the stove. A light sprinkle adds real depth to simple dishes, whether that's roasted vegetables, grilled meat, or a bowl of rice that needs a bit more flavour.
What's In It
- Australian sea salt
- Dried seaweed, nutritional yeast and mushroom powder for umami depth
- A touch of chilli for warmth
It's suitable for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free diets, so it's an easy addition to the pantry regardless of who you're cooking for.
How To Use It
- Sprinkle over roasted vegetables before or after cooking
- Season grilled meats or tofu for extra depth
- Stir into soups and stews for a savoury boost
- Finish popcorn or chips with a light dusting
Because the umami ingredients bring their own saltiness, start with a light sprinkle and taste as you go rather than seasoning heavily from the start.
Umami Without the MSG
Umami is often associated with added MSG, but that's not the only way to get it. Ingredients like dried seaweed, nutritional yeast and mushroom powder are naturally rich in umami compounds, which is the approach this blend takes. It's a genuinely useful option if you're after that savoury depth without reaching for an MSG based seasoning.
Why Umami Is Worth Understanding
Umami is often described as the fifth taste, alongside sweet, sour, salty and bitter, and it's the savoury depth you notice in things like parmesan, mushrooms, soy sauce and slow cooked stock. Building that flavour into a seasoning means you can add real depth to a dish quickly, without needing to simmer a stock or age a cheese to get there. It's a genuinely useful shortcut for weeknight cooking.
Part of a Wider Range
If you like the seasoned salt format, Mingle's Umami Everything Seasoned Salts is a natural next jar to try, along with the Moroccan All Natural Seasoning if you're after something with a different flavour direction.
Good To Know
Each jar contains 110g of seasoning. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and reseal the lid tightly after each use to keep the flavour fresh.
