Doesn't posting stale copypasta get old? I mean, do you giggle yourself to tears every time you do it? It seems like such a waste. Why not do something original, or have you no personality of your own?

Sodium monoglutamate is broken down into sodium and glutamic acid in your body. Sodium is an essential minerals and glutamic acid is an amino acid. It's totally fine to consume in moderation, just like table salt.

what are you supposed to do with MSG? dump it in random food?

>> No.16208155

MSG is just an amino acid with an added sodium on it. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it and it’s added to all sorts of food you’re already eating and you just don’t know.

The reason MSG was given such a hard time is that it was discovered in Japan and used in asian cooking long before it was accepted in the west. So some people were suspicious of the ingredient and blamed it for the bad feeling you get when you over eat carbs. That’s when the anti MSG stuff began. Over a bullshit anecdote.

You add it to savory dishes, especially meat or eggs. I use it with salt but to be honest I like salty food.

Just be sure to have a ratio of something in the range of 1:3 to 1:6 msg to salt ratio. (Or less) You don’t want to overdo it.

well you're glossing over the fact that, while being an amino acid, glutamic acid is also a neurotransmitter

Right... or just one pinch of MSG. Hmm, I wonder which one a non-retard would pick. If think it's the one that isn't a needless amount of effort, congratulations... you have an IQ of at least 100!

Pretty much concentrated savory flavor.
I prefer to get umami from mushrooms.

>> No.16208581

The nice thing about MSG is that it is umami without other flavours. Of course it's nice if one of the ingredients in your dish has umami, but MSG is super useful if you want to eat an umami filled dish without needing to also add mushroomy, cheesy, fermented flavors.
I love all those things but sometimes I want to focus on other aromas while still having a baseline level umami in my dish to make it satisfying to eat. In the same way it's possible to add sweetness with caramelized onions, or honey, or whatever, but if you aren't looking for those tastes to be added to your dish you just add neutral sugar.
