The Worldwide Mint MSG Fine (400G/14.11oz) Monosodium Glutamate Ajinomoto Umami Seasoning Premium Quality Authentic No Additives

Monosodium glutamate is a crystalline, white, odorless powder that is commonly used as a food additive. Monosodium glutamate has a specific flavor known as umami, the fifth basic flavor along with sweet, sour, salty and bitter. Monosodium glutamate can be used as a salt substitute in low-sodium products such as soups, packaged meals, cold cuts and dairy products. 1. Season meats and fish with a hint of MSG - MSG will add a salty touch and complete and enhance the tasty qualities of meat. 2. Use MSG to enhance the flavor of vegetarian or vegan foods: Add a pinch of MSG (or whatever amount you prefer) to vegetables or plant-based foods like tofu. It will introduce some of those umami flavors you are missing in meat dishes. 3. Mix monosodium glutamate with salt to make a powerful and versatile seasoning: MSG doesn't have much flavor on its own (after all, it's a flavor enhancer), salt acts as a convenient vehicle for bringing the umami profile to any dish.
