monosodium glutamate (msg) is it really bad?

MSG: The Flavor Enhancer That Everyone Loves to Hate - But Should They?

MSG: The misunderstood ingredient that has been the target of unwarranted criticism and blame for far too long.
But fear not, for MSG is not the villain that it has been made out to be.

MSG, or monosodium glutamate, is a naturally occurring compound that is found in many foods, such as tomatoes, mushrooms, and cheese.

It was first isolated and identified as a flavor enhancer in 1908 by a Japanese scientist named Kikunae Ikeda, who discovered that it had a unique taste that he called "umami."

Umami is often described as a savory or meaty taste that can add depth and complexity to dishes.

MSG works by stimulating the taste buds and enhancing the natural flavors of food, making it more delicious and satisfying.

It can be used in a wide range of dishes, from soups and stews to stir-fries and marinades.

So, the next time someone tells you to avoid MSG, just smile and say, "Don't worry, I'm a risk-taker. Pass the umami!"
