Here's a fact ...

Umami

Sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami?

Referred to as the "fifth taste", umami describes that full-flavored, meaty, savory sensation that you can't quite put your finger on. It creates what chefs call "mouth-feel" for a super-satisfying meal.

Eating foods rich in umami, such as parmesan, mushrooms, chickpeas and anchovies, will leave you happy as a clam for just a few calories.
