What is "monosodium glutamate"?
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer commonly added to foods to boost their savory taste, known as umami. It is a salt form of glutamic acid, an amino acid that occurs naturally in many foods, such as tomatoes, cheese, and mushrooms. MSG is widely used in processed foods, restaurant dishes, and snacks. While MSG is generally considered safe for consumption, some people may experience mild symptoms, such as headaches or nausea, after consuming large amounts.
