nutty flavor
Toasted seed essence
A nutty flavor suggests the taste of nuts—warm, earthy, slightly sweet, and often toasted.
The term describes foods that aren't nuts but share these qualities: brown butter has a nutty flavor, aged Gruyère develops a nutty flavor.
Grains, cheeses, and roasted seeds commonly earn this description.
