Have you ever heard of Savory or Umami? Have you ever wondered what it meant? What is an example of Savory?
To learn more about the tastes and flavors you can watch the videos below. 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." |
