Umani: Tea

Posted on Sunday 7 January 2007


Hot cup of tea.

Umami foods include shiitakes , Parmesan cheese, tomatoes, green tea and sweet potatoes…

Umami is the fifth taste, dontcha know. Our tongues are not restricted to tasting sweet, sour, salty, and bitter – as was believed for hundreds of years. We can also distinctly detect when a food is deeply savory, and that taste was named “umami” by one of the Japanese scientists who made this discovery. [source: Mindy]
