Monosodium Glutamate, 100g

Monosodium glutamate, or MSG, is a popular flavour enhancer. Add the fine, salt-like crystals to stews, soups and stir fries. A small pinch makes everyday ingredients sing. Is this your first time buying from us?

The primary component of MSG seasoning is glutamate. While MSG is a manufactured product, glutamate is a naturally occurring amino acid. You’ll find it in foods like mushrooms, tomatoes and Parmesan cheese.

MSG brings out the savoury, umami flavours of your dish. A little goes a long way, so use it sparingly. It works wonders in marinades, helping to tenderise your meat. Try adding MSG to slow cooked stews and noodle soups. You’ll be surprised at the difference it makes.

In China, MSG is often added to stir fries. It gives them a satisfying, savoury flavour with minimal effort. This recipe for king prawns in sweet and sour sauce calls for a pinch of MSG. It adds depth and umami to the rich, tangy sauce.
