Pacific Organic Mushroom Broth

Pacific Mushroom BrothPacific is a label that seems to be growing in popularity among "amateur kitchen aficionados." They offer a wide variety of products both organic and non-organic, and all of them that I've tried seem to focus on healthy ingredients and good taste. Case in point, the Pacific Organic Mushroom Broth. Normally, I would not be the kind to just go on and on about a simple broth, but THIS stuff is good! Even though it seems rather high in sodium (530 mg per 1 cup serving, 22%RDA), it's lower in comparison to a lot of other broths - vegetarian or non-vegetarian alike. It's also flavored with wholesome things as garlic and sea salt, and of course, the mushrooms are organic. In fact, this broth is USDA Organic, Kosher Parve, Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Casein Free, Vegan, Yeast Free, Fat Free, 1 gram of carbhydrates and only 5 calories per 1 cup serving.

This products true strength is in its versatility. It has a hearty and distinct mushroom flavor that takes well to simple treatment, like the addition of barley and a few veggies for a light soup that will perk you up when you have a cold. But use this as a base for something more extravagant, and you may just find yourself reaching for this product more often than you can imagine. I find it ads a discernible warmth in the background of most any suitable recipe, without tasting distinctly like mushrooms. One of my favorite characteristics of this product is that it is in a carton, and not in a can. To me, canned broths are just inferior in taste, and always seem to have more sodium in them, perhaps to hide the "taste of the tin."

I can typically find a 32 fluid ounce carton of Pacific's broths for around $2.50. It may seem pricey at first, but not when you consider that there are 4 servings (1 cup, 8 ounces each) per carton. Overall, with the versatility and the flavor that this can add to nearly anything, I feel it's well worth the extra bucks.
