Taste Changes

Foods that are rich in umami can improve the palatability of food, especially for people experiencing taste changes in treatment. Examples of these foods include mushrooms, cooked tomatoes, eggs, and cheese as well as more acidic flavors like citrus fruits and vinegar or spicier condiments like hot sauce and curry powder.
