Umami

Find out how to identify, use and taste the umami: the deep and irresistible taste behind the most memorable chef recipes.

🤔 What is UMAMI?

Umami is the fifth basic taste of human taste – next to the candies, salted, acidic and bitter – and you probably tried it unconsciously.

It was identified in 1908 by a Japanese scientist by studying the Kombu algae broth. The taste was different: deep, surprising, prolonged and comforting. Today, science explains this effect from the power of natural compounds such as:

• Glutamate (vegetables, cheeses and fermented)
• Inosine (meat and seafood)
• Guanyllato (mushrooms and dry mushrooms)

These substances activate the areas of the brain related to satiety, pleasure and memory of taste – so the dishes rich in humans seem more and more tastes.
