Spice 101
Summary
Cascade Mushroom Mix is a robust ensemble of flavors, crafted to enhance the umami in your culinary creations. This blend combines ground porcini mushrooms with powdered Worcestershire, black pepper, onion, and garlic. This mix has a deep-hearty body, making it an excellent choice for enriching any dish, particularly meats. It's equally effective as a standalone seasoning or as a component in a more complex spice amalgamation.
History
The Pacific Northwest is a region known for its lush forests, abundant rainfall, and a deep-rooted appreciation for the natural bounty it provides. Among its treasures, mushrooms hold a special place in the hearts and kitchens of its inhabitants. The love affair with these earthy delights has been a longstanding tradition, with foraging being a cherished pastime for many.
Mushrooms, particularly the prized porcini, have been celebrated for their rich umami flavor and versatility in cooking. This reverence for mushrooms inspired the creation of our Cascade Mushroom Mix. We sought to capture the essence of the Pacific Northwest's culinary heritage with it.
Why We Love It
It has a bold, unapologetic flavor that makes every dish sing a little louder. We'll rub it onto a roast or sprinkle it into a simmering pot of stew, and Cascade Mushroom Mix never fails to impress with its depth and versatility. It's like a secret weapon in our spice arsenal that consistently delivers a wow factor.
The More You Know
Did you know that the concept of umami, which is a key flavor profile in our Cascade Mushroom Mix, was only officially recognized as a distinct taste in the early 20th century by a Japanese scientist? This discovery has since revolutionized the culinary world, influencing how chefs and food enthusiasts think about flavor combinations and seasoning. Keep an eye out for the subtle, yet profound, way this blend enhances the natural flavors of your ingredients.
Super rich, deep and hearty. It is really good mixed with yogurt and mashed potatoes.

I did not know the Cascade Mushroom Mix would change my life, but it has. I'd been sitting for years on a chicken salad recipe that called for it and had been working around it with spices I had. The salad was still good, but I wanted to try it as intended. I finally decided to get some and it's a complete gamechanger! Well into my second pouch already!

We have been customers of World Spice store in Seattle for a lot of years now. We love the store, the variety of spices and the knowledge and friendliness of the staff.
As Canadians, we have recently used the on line ordering as we have a recreational address in the US now for delivery! The on line process and delivery was flawless, easy and reliable! Keep up the good work and service!

Excellent! I add Cascade Mushroom Mix to most of my soups and sauces. I love the "umami' and earthy flavor it delivers.
Sheri B.5/5Verified
I LOVE this! I bought this on a whim, and it has been the find of the year. Robust, intensely umami. My partner (immediately after smelling it) started asking me to cook beef stew together with him. Who knows? This may even spark my love life. 😊
Mary K.5/5Verified
Fantastic! We use this on almost everything that we cook, especially vegetables. It adds a wonderful umami taste!
Kristy D.5/5Verified
Highly recommended! Love how earthy and umami this spice is! Makes a wonderful soup base and will be an excellent mushroom gravy on thanksgiving!
Allison W.5/5Verified
Fantastic! Just thought I'd try this, as it sounded interesting. It makes the blandest gravy soooo much better, it's more umami than adding beef bullion like I used to do. just don't add too much.

Highly recommended! This should be a requirement for vegan au jus or brown gravy. A little goes a long way.
