Umami, recognised as the fifth basic taste alongside sweet, sour, salty and bitter, is drawing renewed attention in food and nutrition discussions. The savoury taste, linked to glutamates in foods like tomatoes, cheese, soy sauce and mushrooms, is being explained in science communication pieces covering how it is detected on the tongue and why it makes food taste satisfying.
Why now: Growing public interest in food science and nutrition is driving renewed curiosity about the fifth basic taste.
