Aji-No-Moto Monosodium Glutamate 200 g

Can’t believe I’ve bought MSG after years of believing its bad rep, but after doing some research about it I decided it might be better than all the salt and soya sauce I use to get flavour which is often far too much. This product is great for home cooked meaty dishes like stews, soups, egg fried rice and Chinese dishes. Completely enhances the taste with just a pinch. A lot of foods naturally contain Glutamate so research those to know which don’t need MSG or benefit from it.

This is really a really good product enhance flavour of home made sauces , this is my second purchase my son bought first one & I am now hooked on using too !

Amazing chinese tate once you've used it you need it every time if your doing your own chinese food. Easy to use, good value money.tates great.

I love trying out new ingredients and cooking different dishes, so I was excited when I started to learn about including MSG in home Asian food. After looking around in local shops and online, I have found that this is by far the cheapest source for the stuff. I'm incredibly excited with how it has transformed my food! It shockingly doesn't really "taste" like anything, but brings out other flavors in your dish that weren't noticeable previously. The best way I can describe it is just the essence of takeout Chinese food that you can sprinkle into your food at the end. I totally recommend getting this, even if it's just to try out MSG for the first time. Its a great price, does great things for your food, and is a very decent sized bag to last a long time in your kitchen.

The umami-packed magic of monosodium glutamate (MSG) is no secret among chefs, and Ajinomoto has mastered the art of delivering it in a convenient form. I love how just a pinch of this seasoning can transform an ordinary meal into a culinary masterpiece. From stir-fries to soups, it seamlessly enhances the natural flavors of ingredients without overpowering them. One of the standout features of Ajinomoto Umami Seasoning is its versatility. It dissolves effortlessly, making it suitable for a wide range of recipes. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a home cook experimenting in the kitchen, this seasoning adds that extra layer of depth that takes your dishes from good to exceptional. The resealable packaging is a practical touch, ensuring that the seasoning stays fresh for longer. The small crystals dissolve quickly, evenly distributing the umami goodness throughout the dish. I appreciate the thoughtfulness in the design, making it user-friendly for both occasional home cooks and culinary enthusiasts. Concerns about MSG are often misconstrued, and Ajinomoto has taken steps to provide a pure, high-quality product. I've experienced no adverse effects and, in fact, find that it enhances the overall dining experience.

I'm from the UK, had never used MSG before (although I've definitely had it in meals, as it occurs naturally in certain foodstuffs anyhow) and decided to give it a try. After being a fan of Uncle Roger for some time, I can see why it's used in practically all Asian food. It's incredible. Honestly, ignore all of the anti-MSG nonsense that western cultures seem to spout, because there is absolutely nothing wrong with using it. Same as with salt or sugar, it's just common sense to not use a TON of it constantly in your diet. Aside from that, in most savoury dishes you will notice the difference in how the flavour hits your tastebuds! You don't need to use loads. Just substitute whatever salt you would normally add for either 50/50 MSG to salt, or the whole lot. It actually contains less sodium than salt, so it's ideal for low sodium diets as well. Don't be afraid of adding some umami to your food! Why so weak?

My go to for msg quality always consistent

We use this every time we make a “fakeaway” Not just for Chinese, we use it in our fried chicken recipe, curry and homemade sauces, it certainly enhances the flavour! This one was smaller than the last but for the price I’m not complaining!
