Mushrooms
Another excellent plant-based source of umami taste is mushrooms. Similar to tomatoes, dried mushrooms can have much more glutamate in them. The amount of glutamate in 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of various mushrooms is listed below:
- Dried shiitake mushroom: 1,060 mg
- Shimeji mushroom: 140 mg
- Enoki mushroom: 90–134 mg
- Common mushroom: 40–110 mg
- Truffles: 60–80 mg
- Shiitake mushroom: 70 mg
Additionally rich in minerals, particularly B vitamins, mushrooms have been linked to possible health advantages including lowered cholesterol and enhanced immunity. Both raw and cooked, they are also adaptable, delectable, and simple to incorporate into your diet.
