Like Phil, I only know 4 flavors including sweet, salty, sour and bitter. But now I know we have the fifth flavor which is umami. It is also the first time I have heard about it. Thanks BBC

We're glad we could help. Quick tip - In your last clause you've used the present perfect so you need to use a past participle. 'learn' should be 'learnt' 😊
Thanks BBC Learning English 🙏
Thank you so much BBC Learning ✅

شكرا جزيلا

Gut 내장.소화관 Umami 감칠맛 I enjoyed listening to bbc news Thanks a lot
I'm no expert, but in nature bitterness serves as a warning sign, something to avoid, something not safe to consume. Alternatively, sweetness is, by and large, a good sign of safety in terms of consumption. Having said that, I'm fond of the bitter taste found in beer, coffee and some vegetables.

The concepts of English language is published by BBC English Learning are more useful specially for the learners.
I love umami.❤
My father is really keen on bitter melon. He can eat that kind of vegetable almost everyday and he tells us that bitter melon is so good for our health. There are some benefits such as interacting with gut microbiome, controlling glucose release, suppressing feeling of hunger and even countering chronic inflammation. However, my mom doesn’t like bitter melon as it is too bitter to her and it becomes her undesirable trait. She couldn’t resist when she feels the bitterness on the tip of her tastebuds. From my point of view, bitter food is really mainstream and we are exposed to it way more than we can envisage such as chocolate, coffee, etc
My tastebud is different right after my chemotherapy treatment and it can go back to normal after five days.
I forgot the Umami taste even though I'm Japanese😂

I thought that the image and topic of this content doesn't match enough : it should be discussing a sour taste, instead of bitter one.

2:55 what does quite mean there?
@bbclearningenglish

😊 'I can't quite remember' means 'I can't fully or completely remember something'. So, 'quite' softens the meaning of 'not remembering' - similar to saying 'I'm not sure I can remember'. You can find more ways to use 'quite' in this video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmd-l7eNlaqrj6w.html
