Since 1947, Ac'cent All Natural Flavor Enhancer has been a trusted companion for home cooks looking to amplify the flavors in their meals. This remarkable seasoning is rich in glutamate, a naturally occurring compound that enhances the taste of various foods. From meats and poultry to fish, vegetables, salads, and even casseroles, adding Ac'cent will unlock a new depth of flavor in your cooking.
The taste that Ac'cent provides is known as "Umami," which is recognized as the fifth basic taste, alongside sweet, salty, bitter, and sour. Rooted in Japanese culinary tradition, umami introduces a rich, savory broth-like flavor that makes any dish more satisfying. Using Ac'cent is easy; simply sprinkle it on your go-to meals and watch as your cooking transforms from ordinary to extraordinary.
Ac'cent's unique flavor-enhancing properties come from a centuries-old fermentation process that is similar to that used in the production of vinegar, beer, and yogurt. The concept of using glutamate to enhance flavor dates back over a thousand years when cooks in Asia found that soups made from seaweed stock made their dishes taste significantly better. The modern understanding of glutamate's benefits was further expanded by Professor Kikunae Ikeda, who discovered its flavor-enhancing qualities and introduced it to the culinary world in 1908.
Today, everywhere you go in Japan, glutamate is a common seasoning found on dining tables and in kitchens, making it a staple for enhancing flavors in everyday cooking. Not only is glutamate present in Ac'cent, but it’s also naturally found in various foods like beets, tomatoes, and cheese. The glutamate used in Ac'cent is sourced from corn, ensuring a wholesome enhancement to all your favorite dishes. Now you can find Ac'cent readily available at your local supermarkets, waiting to elevate your cooking experience!
