yes. there is no flavoring to speak of. but you can flavor it as you like with herbs or spices. if you use it as a base for say a red saucey thing, you can flavor it with basil. for fish you can use tarragon. for chicken, mexican spices or curry. it's also good in stews to thicken gravies, because it's very absorbent and sucks up that liquid and takes on the taste. think of it as potatoes. not much of it's own taste. it's what you do with it. you can make patties with minced onion and egg and brown them in a little butter.
