What is Umami?

229 views

I’m falling in love with cooking and I see on all these shows talk about Umami with ingredients. I get the idea behind the flavor but they don’t excite my taste buds. I feel like I’m missing something.

“Tastes like chicken” is because of umami.
I did a tasting course that explained the 5 core flavors really well. Tasting umami was having pure msg (blind taste of course) and it was very odd to taste chicken soup with no textures and no salt.
