Cooking Tips
Use sparingly! A little goes a long way due to its intense flavor.
Stir it into soups, stews, gravies, and sauces to deepen their savory notes.
Spread a thin layer on toast or crackers for a quick, flavorful snack.
Incorporate into marinades for meats or vegetables to add a rich, umami base.

Common Mistakes
Using too much, which can overpower other flavors and make dishes taste overly salty.
