Umami
Smoke
Earthy mushrooms meet warm, smoky paprika.
Stems ’N Caps Umami Smoke combines rich mushroom flavor, salt, and smoked paprika in a bold, savory blend. The mushrooms create a deep, earthy foundation, while smoked paprika adds a rounded smokiness and warm color. It’s a natural fit for dishes that call for a little more depth and a smoky finish.
Rub it onto meat before grilling, toss it with potatoes before roasting, or stir it into chili, stews, and baked beans. It’s equally at home on roasted cauliflower, crispy tofu, and mushroom patties, making it a versatile choice for both meat-based and plant-based meals. Try a light sprinkle over eggs, macaroni and cheese, or freshly popped popcorn for an easy savory upgrade.
Use Umami Smoke on its own or mix it with oil to help coat ingredients evenly before cooking. Start with a small amount and build to taste—the blend already contains salt. From backyard grilling to oven-roasted dinners, it brings warm, smoky character to your favorite comfort foods.

Its straightforward flavor makes it especially useful in dishes where you want the main ingredients to shine.
Keep Umami Sea Salt beside the stove for cooking or on the table for finishing. Start with a light sprinkle, taste, and adjust as needed. It’s an easy way to make everyday meals more savory, one pinch at a time.
