Aportar sabores y valor nutricional a través de productos fermentados puede ser una buena opción. Las primeras versiones de productos plant based no solo fueron cuestionados por sus desviaciones en sabor y textura, respecto a los alimentos de origen animal de referencia; sino por la necesidad que involucran de usar muchos ingredientes (muchos de ellos ultra procesados), lo que va en contra de la promesa de alimentación más sana y eco amigable a la que apunta esta tendencia. Por este motivo, se pueden explorar rutas vía fermentación dirigida para lograr productos con perfiles sensoriales enriquecidos en sabores más ricos por los consumidores, además de favorecer efectos prebióticos, posbióticos, e impactar en la textura del producto final.

Spices can play an important role when it comes to enhancing the flavor of plant-based meals, especially when we want to mask or complement the flavour of base plant based ingredient. By incorporating a variety of spices, we can significantly enhance the taste without adding much calories thereby ensuring that the nutritional value of the dish remains intact. Spices not only enhance flavors but also contribute antioxidants and other health benefits, making important ingredient for creating delicious and nutritious plant-based meals.

Boosting the flavour profile of plant-based meals can be achieved through: intrinsic modifications and extrinsic enhancements. Intrinsically, plants contain secondary metabolites like tannins and isoflavones, which impart a plant-like taste. These compounds can be modified or reduced through fermentation, sprouting, or thermal processing to reduce the undesired flavour while retaining their nutritional benefits. Extrinsically, taste maskers can be used to neutralise undesirable tastes in vegan products. Vegan flavours are also used to mimic animal-based profiles (chicken, beef, cheese), while taste enhancers boost umami for a savoury effect. Mouthfeel can be improved by adding agents that simulate creaminess without extra fat and calories.

Balancing these elements can elevate your plant-based meal while maintaining or even boosting its nutritional value. Add spices like cumin, turmeric, and garlic powder, and fresh herbs like cilantro and basil. Use acidic ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar to brighten flavours. Sprinkle nutritional yeast for a cheesy, umami kick, rich in B vitamins and protein. Incorporate umami-rich foods like mushrooms or miso. Use healthy fats like olive oil or avocado. Add fermented foods like kimchi for probiotics. Roast veggies to enhance their natural sweetness and depth.

Un piatto a base vegetale può essere gustoso e saporito. Nella tradizione culinaria italiana e più in generale, in quella mediterranea, sono moltissime le ricette che utilizzano soli ingredienti vegetali. Esempi noti sono la pasta al pesto, la pasta alla Norma, il risotto ai funghi, la farinata e l’hummus di ceci, la pasta e fagioli, la pappa al pomodoro, il baba ganoush, i dolmades, la ratatouille o la caponata. A mio modo di vedere il primo ingrediente fondamentale resta comunque il tempo! Chi cucina mangia due volte e, con buona probabilità, due volte meglio. Dedicare tempo, fantasia e studio di tradizioni e culture penso possa fare certamente la differenza insieme a un uso sapiente di spezie e erbe aromatiche.
