F.A.Q.

Yondu is a vegetable umami sauce made from triple-fermented beans and umami-rich vegetables.

It is 100% natural, organic, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO with no added flavors or preservatives.

Yondu adds instant savory flavor to any dish without an overpowering taste or color; a great alternative to fish sauce, bouillons, stock and liquid aminos.

Great for plant-rich cooking.

Non-GMO organic soybeans are triple-fermented over the course of 100 days, then blended with the savory broth of onions, white radishes, leeks, cabbage, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, ginger and garlic to create Yondu’s unique flavor that enhances the taste of a variety of cuisines.

Check out our recipes section for some ideas! Add a couple drops of Yondu in your cooking where you would typically use salt. Yondu works by enhancing food’s natural flavors, rather than adding a new flavor to your cooking. Add a splash to soups and broths, onto sautéed vegetables, and into sauces to add richness to your cooking quickly and effortlessly.
