About Salt and msg

Salt and MSG (monosodium glutamate) are common flavor enhancers used in cooking worldwide. Salt, primarily composed of sodium chloride, is integral to seasoning dishes and preserving food. It originates from sea salt or rock salt sources and is used in virtually all cuisines globally. MSG, derived from glutamic acid — an amino acid found naturally in foods like tomatoes and cheese — enhances savory, umami flavors. Though popular in Asian cuisines, MSG has become a global ingredient. Moderation is key for both; excessive salt consumption is linked to high blood pressure, while MSG, though deemed safe by major health organizations, may cause sensitivity in some individuals. Balanced use of these ingredients can add depth and flavor to meals while supporting overall dietary health.
