Umami Meat

Umami is the satisfying taste of savoury wholesomeness. It is mostly created by the amino-acid Glutamate and the nucleotides Inosinate and Guanylate. It's particularly strong when two or more of these compounds are combined, producing a synergistic effect.

Most foods contain some Glutamate but meat also contains Inosinate, and some mats have large amounts. Apart from being highly nutritious, meat becomes very tasty when combined with ingredients that contain a lot of Glutamate or Guanylate.
