Our 'Caps' mushroom jerky is so so very good! Our good friend and local real estate guru Kathleen came up with a recipe that explodes with rich umami flavour coupled with crisp fresh asparagus. Did you know Umami means “delicious savory taste” in Japanese, and its taste is often described as the meaty, savory deliciousness that deepens flavor.
