Additionally, this recipe can be made fast and easy with our Sizzling Sautés™ Fajita Mushroom Kit, which uses Baby Bella Mushrooms to take this dish to the next level! Baby Bellas are known for their health benefits and amazing flavor and texture. Not only are these mushrooms high in vitamin D, they also bring a unique flavor element to the table: umami.
Umami is otherwise known as the “fifth” flavor of basic tastes — the other four being sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. Derived from the Japanese word umami, meaning “delicious,” umami (pronounced oo-MAH-mee) is described as a savory, brothy, rich or meaty taste sensation. It’s a complex and delicious flavor that has the ability to make any recipe shine!
