Umami

“Generally, umami taste is common to foods that contain high levels of L-glutamate, IMP and GMP, most notably in fish, shellfish, cured meats, meat extracts, mushrooms, vegetables (e.g., ripe tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, spinach, celery, etc.) or green tea, hydrolysed vegetable protein, and fermented and aged products involving bacterial or yeast cultures, such as cheeses, shrimp pastes, fish sauce, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and yeast extracts such as Vegemite and Marmite”

That’s literally every food that there is.

How could they miss roast beef Monster Munch, the most umami foodstuff there is, off that list?

Do you think we need the word umami when we already have savoury? Not sure we do tbh

Green beans are savoury but they’re not really umami.

Maybe boiled rice is a better example.

I love umami

some of you probably don’t have the tongue for it
