The 20-year-old purveyor of 100% Certified Organic spices and herbs has 113 items on its menu. Recently we were asked to try a whole new collection of Simply Organic’s Umami Blends. These three standouts worked brilliantly with every dish we used them in. They get their umami credentials from a mixture of shiitake and porcini mushrooms. That’s the basis for the Original Umami blend. Then Simply Organics adds bold herbal and garlic notes in its Roasted Garlic and Herb version. Sweet and Smoky adds smoky flavor from maples and smoked paprika.
Also included in our samples, were 5 Simply Organics Seasoning Mixes. Extremely well-priced at $1.49 to $1.69, there are 16 in total. They make seasoning everything from Shrimp to Sloppy Joe’s a snap
