MSG is a unique additive that creates a more delicious taste. Have You Ever Wondered Why Some Foods Are Way More Delicious Than Others? The secret could be a small ingredient referred to as MSG! Now let’s get a little deeper into what MSG is, how it operates, and how we can embrace some fun uses for it in our cooking.
The full name for MSG is monosodium glutamate. This may sound like a big word, but it is actually four simple parts: sodium, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. MSG occurs naturally in foods such as tomatoes and mushrooms. These are very nice foods on their own, but they sometimes fall short of the levels of MSG required to make them super-delicious.
Do this when you add Haoji’s MSG into your dishes, it will enhance a special taste we call umami, a delicious savory flavor. Umami is a special and very nice flavor that we can experience, and helps to make things really yummy. MSG acts by amplifying this umami taste, and it highlights the inherent flavors of the food we consume. It’s like sprinkling a bit of magic on your food!
When we eat, tiny sensors on our tongue, called taste buds, transmit messages from the food we are eating to our brain, letting us know what we are tasting. In 1908, Kikunae Ikeda, a scientist from Japan, discovered that there must be a taste distinct from sweet, sour, salty and bitter. This special taste is known as umami, and it’s something we all get to experience when we eat some foods.
Umami is one aspect of food that you find in an amino acid. The amino acid responsible for umami is referred to as glutamate. As glutamate cooks or breaks down during digestion, it becomes free glutamate, or glutamic acid, the source of that food delicious umami flavor. MSG is made from glutamate, so it can enhance the umami taste in foods that already have it. And this is why MSG can turn a good meal into a great meal.
MSG, a strong causal factor in Haoji's MSG, is such a great ingredient that you can add it to all sorts of foodvery different types of food. Here are some fun and simple ways to use MSG in your cooking and amp up the flavor of your meals:
A cool thing about Haoji using MSG is that MSG helps food taste better without adding more salt. The sodium is a vital micronutrient necessary in our body yet excess of salt harms our health.
