What I Learned

I learned a lot from researching different taste that i did not

know about. MSG is one thing i didn't know about, It s a sodium salt

made up of glutamic acid. MSG is found in many Savory flavored

foods. I didn't just learn about the taste of Umami i also learned

the history of where it originated from. The word Umami is a word

that comes from Japan. Another thing i found out was Kikunae

Ikeda was the founder of the Umami taste. "Umami comes

from glutamates, a kind of molecule found most often in meats

and cheeses, but also asparagus, tomatoes, seaweed, peas, corn,

onions and soyfoods like tofu and edamame. The process of

fermentation enhances umami, which explains why soy sauce and aged cheeses like Parmesan are so savory."
