When it comes to snacks, there’s one flavour that keeps you reaching for more—the rich, savoury depth of umami. At Peg Partner, we believe that the best chakna isn’t just about crunch or spice; it’s about delivering an irresistible, well-balanced taste experience. That’s where umami comes in—our secret ingredient that makes Happy Hour Peanuts, Hangout Nuts, Cream & Onion Bhujiya, and Pasta Punch the ultimate pairings for your drink.
What is Umami?
Umami, often called the fifth taste, joins sweet, sour, salty, and bitter as a fundamental flavour our taste buds recognise. It was first identified by Japanese scientist Kikunae Ikeda in 1908 when he discovered glutamates in foods like seaweed broth. Since then, umami has been linked to deep, savoury flavours found in aged cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, and, of course, perfectly seasoned snacks. It enhances taste by adding richness and depth, making food more satisfying and addictive.
Why Does Umami Matter in Chakna?
Pairing food with drinks is an art. The right chakna should not only complement your drink but also elevate it. That’s where umami plays a crucial role. It balances flavours, creates a lingering aftertaste, and makes every bite more enjoyable, ensuring you never get bored of snacking.
