Umami Seasoning MSG 200g Ajinomoto
- 39243
Variants:
The 3rd Seasoning Ajinomoto MSG 200 g is the classic flavor enhancer that gives your dishes the deep, rounded umami taste characteristic of authentic Asian cooking. With a purity of at least 99% monosodium glutamate (E621) it naturally lifts the flavor of meat, soups, sauces and fried rice or noodles – without dominating the dish itself.
Umami is the fifth basic taste
Ajinomoto was the first brand to make monosodium glutamate (MSG) available as a flavor enhancer back in the early 1900s. MSG is often called "the third spice" because it adds umami – the fifth basic taste alongside sweet, sour, salty and bitter. Rather than changing the taste of your ingredients, MSG highlights the natural aromas and provides a fuller, more rounded taste experience. That's why it's a staple in everything from noodle soups and dumplings to classic wok dishes where an authentic and harmonious flavor is desired.
How to use The 3rd Seasoning (MSG)
Only a small amount of MSG is needed to elevate the flavor in your dishes.
- For soups and broth: add about ½ teaspoon (≈ 2 g) to 250 ml.
- For fried rice or noodles: use about ¾ teaspoon (≈ 3 g) for 300 g.
- For meat, fish and vegetables: sprinkle a little on during cooking to enhance the natural aromas.
Tip: Add MSG during cooking so the flavor integrates into the dish, and taste as you go to find the perfect balance.
Benefits of Ajinomoto MSG in your dishes
- Enhances the natural flavor of your ingredients
- Provides a full, rounded umami experience
- Very economical to use – only small amounts are necessary
- Neutral in taste and does not overpower the dish
- Used in professional Asian kitchens worldwide
Is MSG safe to use?
Yes. MSG (monosodium glutamate, E621) is approved by the EU, WHO and FDA for use in cooking. When used in moderate amounts, it is completely safe.
Does MSG taste like anything on its own?
No, MSG has no pronounced taste by itself, but it enhances the umami character of the ingredients you use.
Can I use MSG outside of Asian cuisine?
Absolutely — it works in stews, soups, sauces and anywhere you want to highlight a deeper flavor profile.
