You don’t need synthetically produced additives to make a dish tasty. You can also use natural flavor enhancers to add hearty and spicy flavors to dishes. Incidentally, you can also prepare hearty meals without any animal ingredients. There are several ways of spicing up your dishes. Of course, it depends on your taste. Do not only use oring salt and pepper. However, these two should also not be underestimated.
When buying food, we recommend giving preference to regional products of organic quality wherever possible. These have a better environmental footprint due to the short transportation routes and have not been treated with synthetic chemical pesticides. So while spicing up your meals you do not harm the environment.
FOODS CONTAINING GLUTAMATE
Natural flavor enhancers are often herbs, spices, vegetables, and other ingredients that have an intense aroma. In a narrower sense, however, the term only refers to foods that contain natural glutamate.
Glutamate is by no means just a synthetically produced substance but is found as an amino acid in numerous foods. It occurs either in bound or free form. If it is bound to a protein, it is only released during digestion. In this form, it is mainly found in animal products such as meat and fish. Free glutamate has a much stronger taste and is more common in vegetables. Tomatoes are particularly rich in glutamate. This is why they are so suitable as a base for strong sauces.
Other glutamate-containing vegetables that add intense flavors to your dishes are:
- Potatoes
- parsley
- leek
- celery
- Horseradish
A particularly popular food in vegan cuisine that is rich in natural glutamate is yeast flakes. These are mainly used as a cheese substitute. The flavor enhancer also occurs naturally in soy sauce.
NATURAL FLAVOR ENHANCERS
Natural flavor enhancers spice up dishes without any e-substances. Not only foods containing glutamate are suitable for enhancing dishes. Other foods can also be considered natural flavor enhancers in a broader sense. These include, for example:
- Herbs: Basil, dill, coriander, and other herbs provide intense flavors, especially in fresh form. If fresh herbs are not available, you can use dried herbs. Find out more here: Kitchen herbs and their special features
- Spices: Spices are also a must when cooking. Paprika powder, cumin, chili, ginger, and other spices give dishes an extra kick.
- Citrus fruits: Citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, and oranges add a refreshing acidity and a slight sweetness to your dishes. The juice and grated peel of citrus fruits can liven up both savory and sweet dishes. For example, try a squeeze of lemon juice over a vegetable grill or a pinch of orange zest in a dessert.
- Hearty vegan
- Garlic and onions: Garlic and onions are essential ingredients in many culinary traditions. Not only do they add a spicy note, they also provide a deep layer of flavor. From roasted garlic in sauces to caramelized onions on pizzas, there are numerous ways to incorporate these flavors.
- Smoked flavors: Smoked flavors can add a rustic touch to vegan dishes. Use smoked paprika powder, smoked salt, or smoked tofu cubes to create a smoky flavor in soups, stews, and casseroles.
- Vinegar: Vinegar, especially varieties like balsamic and apple cider vinegar, can add a pleasant acidity to dishes. Reduce balsamic to a syrupy consistency for a sweet note or add apple cider vinegar for freshness and sharpness.
