The Flavor Fell Flat for This Foodie

I'm usually not one to write reviews, but my experience with UMAMI Crave the Fifth was a letdown. As someone who's passionate about plant-based eating and always on the lookout for new flavors to elevate my dishes, I was excited to try their Everything Sauces. Unfortunately, the Indian Inspired Curry sauce I picked up lacked depth and warmth - it tasted more like a bland, overly sweet curry powder mix than the complex, aromatic curry I was hoping for. The consistency was also off, feeling too thin and watery for my liking. I tried using it in a stir-fry and as a marinade, but it just didn't seem to add much to the dishes. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the rich, vibrant flavors of other plant-based sauces on the market, but for the price point, I expected a lot more from UMAMI Crave the Fifth. The idea of a locally made, gluten-free, and plant-based product line is great, and I appreciate their commitment to using high-quality ingredients, but the execution needs some work. Until they revamp their recipes or offer more variety in terms of flavor profiles, I'll have to take my business (and my taste buds) elsewhere.
