Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer made from glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid found in foods like tomatoes, cheese, and mushrooms. It is commonly used in cooking to boost the umami (savory) taste of dishes, adding depth and richness to the flavor profile. MSG is often used in small quantities to season soups, sauces, stir-fries, marinades, and snacks, particularly in Asian cuisine and processed foods. To use MSG, sprinkle a pinch into your dish during cooking or as a finishing touch, much like you would use salt, ensuring it complements but doesn't overpower the other flavors.
