MSG is a no no in our house, I love cooking, my husband don't like MSG on our food, but I grow up putting umami which my moms does it until now. There are some instances that I requested my Mom to cook in our house and of course she can't cook without it, she told me that it will enhance the flavouring of the food, suprisingly my hubby like it.
I will tell my hubby what I've learned during Ajipanda Best Day ever like Umami is the 5th basic taste. Glutamate is responsible for the umami taste and its natural form of NA Salt does not cause Chinese Restaurant Syndrom ( well I will definitely elaborate this one to him), does not deform babies, does not cause cancer, not harmful to young infants, not responsible for degenerative neurologic diseases and is helpful to patients requiring a low NA diet and lastly MSG is safe.
On the other hand, Does MSG cause allergies? Glutamates are not an allergens as explained during the event. MSG is the Na salt form of glutamate, allergens are usually caused by food proteins.
Hope some of my readers like mommies are enlighten about MSG, just like what I will do to my hubby to let me allow to use MSG in our food.
