Washing Up
Ever think about the taste senses that are recognized and how we cook with them?
Salty – Add salt or sodium chloride
Sour – Citric Acid and vinegars
Sweet – sugar, syrup. Etc.
Bitter – rinds, etc,
And the fifth:
Umami – Glutamates……MSG (savory)
When you look at it, we cook with every taste sensory in mind except Umami (savory), yet the US diet utilizes savory dishes up to 90% of the time and doesn’t think of the Umamai seasoning.
Adding a salt or an acid seems common place….but adding an Umami element? Weird?
Interesting.
