Why MSG SHOULD be in EVERY Pantry | MSG vs SALT

I've wanted to make an MSG video for a LONG time! Today I'm going to explain what is MSG and How to use MSG while cooking! MSG makes good food tastes better! But does it cause headaches??

The goal of SauceStache is to continue trying something new, something new to me and something different.
I find inspirations from you the SauceSquad and my constant hunt of social media to see what food is being made around the globe and how can I try to make it. Lets try to make some food and have fun!!

My mom is one of those people who claim to get headaches from msg. I’ve been cooking with msg for the last 5 years and never told her. No headaches. Maybe one day I’ll let her in on my “secret” ingredient.

sounds like MSG just needs a re brand.

I want to say thank you, sincerely, for making this. This is a battle I've been fighting for a while now. so many people, particularly ones who claim to be healthy eaters, have tried to argue that its bad for you when its not. I am a professional, trained chef and i have a focus on food science, so it is always frustrating hearing people who don't know what they're talking about try to vilify something they don t understand in food science. Thank you.

I was born in 1961. As a child, Accent was always in the spice cabinet. But then it disappeared. My parents and grandparents just quit using it. Later in college I realized it was MSG and I guess my family believed the bad press. Thank you for this video. I want to decrease salt in my diet. I am ordering some Accent today.

FYI, the stem of the broccoli is AMAZING if you just slice it into medallions and roast it along with the rest of the veggies.

My mom fear mongered me my entire life about MSG and just recently I found a little package of it in my parents' cupboard. Was like wtf. 

Flash forward to tonight and im watching this video after my mom went to bed. My dad comes in, overhears the video, and goes..."you know, MSG is actually harmless. Post-WWII anti-Japanese propaganda. In fact, theres some in the pantry. I use it sometimes. If you dont tell your mom that its in there, she can't tell. And she will love the food." im like OMG

I feel like my whole life is a lie!!!!

[NabilAbdulrashidComedy]

lol Japanese people eat MSG and live up to a hundred. Healthy food with msg is harmless

I started using MSG this year, THATS whats been missing from my cooking past 40 years, DOH!

[wormhole]

A lot of companies bypass the addition of MSG by adding yeast extract (which is loaded with glutamates) so they don't have to say there's added MSG in the package. Guess that's why Australians love their vegemite.

My mom always use MSG and she’s 85 years old. I like MSG.

[alfianfahmi]

That old paper about MSG is so anti-asian and so overspread that it makes people went bandwagon on MSG. MSG is just a type of sodium salt guys, c'mon. Glutamate isn't even bad, in fact you also kinda need glutamate. Yes, it's still contains sodium, but table salt also contains sodium, so what's your excuse?

Who else also come from 'UNCLE ROGER' video ?

My husband sent me the link to your video...I'm so glad he did. I really appreciate you explaining this about MSG. I have some in my cabinet and I've only used it on a shrimp lo mein dish that I learned how to make not too long ago. I wasn't sure about MSG...when we went to the Asian market to buy some we even got negative responses that we were buying it. I never thought of using MSG in other savory dishes, but I'm going to now! Thank you! I hate the food police and when people go hating on something (similar to how they go hating on artificial sweeteners...).

Thanks again for the very informative video!

Ajinomoto is pronounced: ah-g-noh-moh-toh, with no accent on any syllable.
The j in Japanese is pronounced j as in joker or Jill. It is not an h like Spanish.

I used to be afraid to tell people I like MSG on popcorn, but now I'M COMIN' OUT! 🤣

[GlenAndFriendsCooking]

I'm with you 'Stache! But it's like pushing a boulder up a hill trying to convince those people who have been 'GOOPed' by the Wizard of Dr. Oz. All my strength for the comments to come.

Thank you! People tend to be afraid of things they don’t understand. As a chemist I encounter this phenomenon constantly.
