Monosodium Glutamate 454 g – Ajinomoto
Discover the true depth of flavor and elevate your culinary creations with Ajinomoto's Monosodium Glutamate. This large 454 g package contains pure, crystalline powder that is key to enhancing and harmonizing the natural flavors in your dishes. It’s more than just a seasoning; it’s an ingredient that has been appreciated worldwide for over a century for its ability to bring out umami – the fifth taste – giving meals a fuller, more complex, and unforgettable character. The large size is ideal for cooking enthusiasts, small restaurants, or anyone who regularly uses this exceptional flavor enhancer. Usage: The large 454 g pack of Ajinomoto Monosodium Glutamate is perfect for regular cooks and food experimenters. Its uses are nearly limitless. It is an essential component of many traditional Asian dishes, enhancing the flavor of soups (ramen, pho, miso soup, Filipino sinigang), stir-fried dishes, sauces, marinades, and dumpling fillings. In soups, broths, and stews (chicken, vegetable, mushroom, goulash), MSG enhances the foundational taste, making them more flavorful. Sprinkling a small amount of MSG on meat and fish (beef, pork, chicken, lamb) before cooking brings out their natural taste—especially effective in ground meat dishes. Even simple vegetable dishes (fried, roasted potatoes, salads, creamy soups, sauces) will benefit in flavor. It can also be added to marinades and breadings, as well as sauces and dressings, to make them more expressive and rich. Ingredients: Monosodium glutamate, purity over 99%. E-number: E621 (Flavor enhancer).Monosodium glutamate is a flavor enhancer and not a source of significant nutritional value. It is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid. Its caloric and nutritional values at typical intake levels are minimal.
Ajinomoto has a remarkably rich and fascinating history that began in 1908 in Japan. That year, Japanese scientist Professor Kikunae Ikeda made a groundbreaking discovery of the substance responsible for the fifth taste—glutamic acid. Soon after, in 1909, Ajinomoto Co., Inc. began commercial production of monosodium glutamate (MSG) based on this discovery. Since then, Ajinomoto has become a global leader in the production of seasonings and food products, with its MSG synonymous with quality, innovation, and scientific approach to flavor. The company has not only introduced umami to kitchens worldwide but also conducts extensive research on nutrition and sustainability, making it one of the most influential players in the food industry. Choosing MSG from Ajinomoto means choosing a product from the pioneer of umami flavor, with a legacy of innovation and global trust. What exactly is Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), and why is it so valued in kitchens around the world? MSG is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, one of the most abundant amino acids in nature. Glutamic acid naturally occurs in many popular foods known for their rich flavor, such as ripe tomatoes, mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, kombu seaweed, meat, and even human breast milk. The taste it imparts is umami – the fifth basic taste alongside sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. Umami is often described as “meaty,” “brothy,” “deep,” “savory,” or “satisfying,” enhancing and harmonizing the other flavors in a dish, creating a fuller and more complex flavor profile. MSG primarily acts as a flavor enhancer rather than as a standalone seasoning. It doesn’t introduce a new flavor, but draws out and amplifies the ones already present, especially those rich in umami. Used in small, appropriate amounts, MSG makes dishes more expressive, complex, and well-rounded, often without needing to add excess salt or fat. This is especially valuable in Asian cuisine, where umami is the foundation of many dishes, but its applications are global and span a wide range of cuisines. It’s worth noting that MSG is one of the most thoroughly studied food ingredients and has been deemed safe by leading global health authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Its effectiveness and safety have been confirmed through years of scientific research. Ajinomoto’s Monosodium Glutamate pack is more than just a seasoning additive; it’s a powerful tool that opens the door to the world of umami, allowing you to create dishes with extraordinary depth and a professional touch. It’s the perfect choice for anyone looking to elevate their culinary skills and discover how one simple yet scientifically proven ingredient can fundamentally transform the taste experience in any kitchen. Ajinomoto is a brand that has shaped our understanding of flavor for decades, and its product is a guarantee of authentic umami experience.Brand
