Ajinomoto 500g Pack

Ajinomoto, also known as monosodium glutamate (MSG), is a flavor enhancer commonly used in Asian and processed foods to intensify the savory, umami taste. It is a white, crystalline powder derived from glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid found in foods like tomatoes and cheese. While Ajinomoto is widely appreciated for boosting flavor in dishes like soups, noodles, and snacks, it is best used in moderation. Though some concerns have been raised about its health effects, scientific studies have found it to be safe for most people when consumed within normal dietary limits. It is a popular ingredient in restaurants and home kitchens for adding a rich, satisfying depth to food.
