Chicken Breast

Protein · Global

Mild umami notes define this lean protein, supported by subtle saltiness and low fat content. The aroma features distinct fermented qualities reminiscent of miso. Its amino-acid profile provides a neutral base, while inosine-monophosphate and glutamate concentrations contribute to a balanced savory experience during cooking.
