The evolution of flavour has played a significant role in the history of human civilisation. Our sense of taste is crucial in determining our food preferences and enjoyment. Our tongue has receptors that recognise the five basic tastes of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami (savoury), which are also found in other parts of the mouth and throat. This is why wine tasters swirl the wine around their mouths to ensure it comes into contact with all the receptors, allowing for maximum taste perception. However, flavour is not solely determined by taste buds; vision and mouthfeel also play a significant role. We expect certain colours for food and drink, and if they differ from our expectations, our brain receives mixed signals that affect how we perceive the flavour. Similarly, texture and temperature also greatly influence our perception of flavour. The unique combination of textures and chemical interactions in our mouths impacts how we experience flavour. For example, we reject soft biscuits or crisps because the texture is not what we expect, resulting in a different flavour perception.

This package includes three seed packets of Chilli 'Jalapeno', Red Shiso, and Rocket Wasabi, each offering its own unique flavour to enhance your culinary creations. These seeds can be easily grown in pots or windowsills, making them a convenient option for home gardening. With these distinct and flavourful plants, you can add a burst of taste to any dish and elevate your cooking to the next level.
