Despite some bad press in the past, MSG is not considered to an allergen or in any way unhealthy. Glutamic acid occurs naturally in umami-rich foods like tomatoes, mushrooms, and cheese. This convenient granular form is an easy way to kick up the rich, savory flavors of soups and stews, vegetable dishes, and Asian sauces.

Customers say just a pinch adds a big savory, umami boost, making recipes taste fuller and more satisfying without piling on extra salt or stronger spices. Many like using it in mashed potatoes, homemade chicken broth, roasted vegetables, and even on fresh tomatoes, noting that a little goes a long way and quickly deepens flavor.
Love to use it for that added flavor boost! A must-have in the kitchen.

It’s like a little flavor bomb. A pinch or two and 💨 it tastes more.

Great flavor intensifier!!
A little of this goes a long way in making your recipes more intense (WITHOUT using lots of salt or more intense spices). A quarter teaspoon makes mashed potatoes more savory and broth even better. Stash some of this in your pantry and ramp your cooking up a notch!

MSG is so underrated
The packaging on these little bottles is to die for. I need the whole set :)
