Yondu® Vegetable Umami Secures National Distribution at Whole Foods

Booth #5371 Hall E Yondu®, the vegetable umami sauce, is now available nationwide at Whole Foods, exclusively featuring Yondu Organic. Yondu Organic and Yondu Spicy can also be found in select HEB and Albertsons Safeway stores, making plant-based flavor more accessible than ever. What is Yondu? Yondu is a vegetable umami crafted from slowly fermented organic soybeans and a blend of savory vegetables. Unlike meat-based umami sources, Yondu delivers deep, complex flavor without animal products, making it perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone seeking a clean, non-GMO flavor enhancer. Just a few drops boost the taste of soups, stir-fries, sauces, and dressings. Umami: The Secret to Deliciousness Umami, known as the "fifth taste," adds a deep, savory dimension to food. Yondu provides a lighter, vegetable-based umami that blends seamlessly into almost any dish, from noodle and rice bowls to roasted vegetables and broths, enhancing depth without overpowering flavors. Introducing Yondu Spicy For those who love heat, Yondu Spicy offers the same umami-packed goodness with an extra kick. Adjust the spice level by adding a dash for mild warmth or more for bold flavor, perfect for quick and flavorful meals. What They’re Saying About Yondu “We’re thrilled to bring Yondu Organic to Whole Foods shoppers. More people are seeking clean, plant-based ways to enhance cooking, and Yondu makes it simple and delicious,” said Laura, VP of Marketing at Sempio. “Yondu is a game-changer for home cooking,” said Jaume Biarnes, Head Chef of the Yondu Culinary Studio. “A little goes a long way in unlocking deep, satisfying flavors in everyday meals.” Make a quick broth with just a teaspoon of Yondu and some hot water or simply stir fry your vegetables in your favorite oil and right at the end a a splash of Yondu. As part of the Sempio family, we’re excited to help people experience plant-based umami. Visit Yondu.us for more information. Media Contact Laura Morris lmorris@sempiofs.net
