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!! - Jak na to + styl
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.
Haha, don't tell her. If she really gets head aches it might be psychological and if you tell her she might get them from your food too.
That’s hilarious 🤣
Sounds a bit like a placebo effect
@@killswitch5193 nope, placebo is when you guve sugar pills to someone and tell them is a strong medice for exactly the issue they have and they get magically cured .
What that mother has is paranoia, she is EATING an especific coumpund that she claims make her ill, but only get sick ehen she is told IS IN HER FOOD, that is just strong paranoia, she gets headache out of stress, which is a VALID source for a headache
@@jjba3571 placebo and nocebo are the "good" and "bad" versions of the same effect. The term placebo is a lot of times used in the place of nocebo because the word is more common even if it loses the latin meaning of the word
sounds like MSG just needs a re brand.
Darryl Schipper and some truth
@@Nanooky That article also calls MSG an "insidious poison," which is a bit harsh for something naturally occurring in so many foods we normally consider fine and healthy.

"MSG only makes good food better, it can't make bad food taste better."
Me looking awkwardly at my bag of potato chips.
Yeah that one was complete BS. MSG in it's own doesn't taste like much at all but it's very good at making crap taste good. Doritos and pringles are basically just that. MSG is harmless unless it makes you eat things that aren't harmless.
The thing is potato chips already taste good with only salt
@@christopherstein2024 "it's good at making crap taste good" I object to that. There is a lot more at play than just MSG.
MSG makes flavors more pronounced and enhances them, but if something tastes bad without MSG, it will only make it worse.
Doritos for example have all kinds of spices and artificial flavorings and MSG helps bring them out so you don't taste the vegetable oil as much...
Tried making Doritos approximation at home without MSG and it did taste different, but it was still tasty (in that junk food way of tasty).
msg enhances flavor both good and bad. Don't give a bad cook MSG it will only make everything worse. lol
I think he meant it makes good-tasting food taste better, not necessarily healthy food.
MSG: Makes Stuff Good
@James Ferry whats wrong? Dont you like flavor?
Unfortunately MSG also causes obesity simply because the food tastes so good you eat more than you should :(

@@teeminator30 That's stupid. Should we eat bad food just because some idiots have no self control?
Jokeritu yes we should. Our economy relies on people and animals to constantly eat the corn, soy and wheat that’s being produced in the US. Unfortunately these foods taste like paper and no one would eat them unless MSG is added to the food products made from these crops to make them tasty. MSG is also added to animal feeds to fatten them up believe it or not, so we the sheeple spend more and eat more of them because they are so tasty! So, unless you want our economy to suffer, MSG must stay in the foods and we the sheeple should continue gulping them down! Just line up, pay up, eat up and shut up. The truth often hurts!
“Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country”. JFK
teeminator30 Tall that to Americans. Our diet is healthy and we don’t feed animals or people corn.
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.
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.
Yeah, there was a concerted effort in the early 70s to malign msg. I also remembered when my mom stopped using msg because she heard from the "experts" that it was bad.
Keep in mind you won't want to add MSG to certain dishes that use salt. MSG is an alternative, but you may not want the savory aspect in some dishes. Easy examples being a lot of Desserts and baking.
@@Slayr. A Singaporean guy would say otherwise, he even puts MSG in his ice cream. Following the "Don't knock if you haven't tried it" tenet, have you tried adding MSG in your deserts before?
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 lollllll...
I feel like my whole life is a lie!!!!
Erin F I love it and your post 😂
Thank you for this... I was just about to say the same thing about conspiracy around MSG
I had the fortune of being able to bring this up with my food science professor at university. He didn’t buy the fear mongering either.
I like your dad
May I kiss him? no homo.
Sounds like a plausible explanation for the origin of the myth. Right now it is spreading because fear mongering pays, and then they sell "himalayan salt", which is too full of heavy metals to be used as road salt....
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.
Thats awesome! Thanks for the tip!
Soooo good! I add it (raw and roasted) to my salads!
big mood. I am a stalk fan. My daughter and I will buy bags of the stems and just eat those.
Peel stem its amazing
For sure! After I cut off the crowns/top parts, I keep the stem and later cut it up like I do carrot strips and will stir fry or steam it. They're underutilized
My mom always use MSG and she’s 85 years old. I like MSG.
And look at American. They mostly live shorter than asian
Who else also come from 'UNCLE ROGER' video ?
" IF YOU SAD IN LIFE, USE MSG. IF YOU HAPPY IN LIFE USE MSG.

Msg - salt on crack
If your mother neglected you just snort 10 lines of msg to feel better. It wont make your mother hate you but it will make you feel better
“I’m allergic to MSG”
Well you better not eat:
- Most fast foods, notably KFC, chick fil-a, Mcdonalds
- Most chips, notably doritoes and pringles
- frozen tv dinner meals
- canned soups like campbell
- processed meat like hot dogs, lunch meats, beef jerky, sausages, smoked meats, pepperoni, and slim jims
- any condiments such as salad dressing, mayonnaise, ketchup, barbecue sauce, and soy sauce
- instant noodles/ramen
- soup stocks. bullion cubes
-NOTABLY (tomatoes, parmesan cheese,)
- mushrooms, onions, cabbage, green peas, spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, corn, beets, anchovies, kelp/seaweed on your sushi
Better not live. Your body uses it constantly.
Only tomatoes? I got news for you bro, nearly all life on earth has glutamic acid.
It's naturally in breast milk also
@Jason Lohzx yes and many other things
My mom thinks she's allergic to MSG. She's been brainwashed by nutbags like Dr. Oz. I made her pasta with sun dried tomatos and parmesan cheese, two of the foods with the highest natural MSG content. Wouldn't you know it, her MSG allergy wasn't triggered! When I explained to her that she just ate a bunch of MSG she thought I tried to poison her...
I started using MSG this year, THATS whats been missing from my cooking past 40 years, DOH!

@@Chlrintruc *Holding shift will reverse CAPS*
lol Japanese people eat MSG and live up to a hundred. Healthy food with msg is harmless

Msg is no less healthy than salt. The msg fear is largely influenced by xenophobia because it's Asian.
Tony Zan I was telling my wife this yesterday brother. I’m west African and we use msg a lot in our food too, people keep saying it’s unhealthy based on this stupid rumour started by the American guy and the truth is it was a deliberate attempt to ruin Chinese business

You gotta try butter salt and msg make really good popcorn. msg make it as savory as Doritos
I should try msg on pop corn im one of those guys that prefers salted over sweet so msg will probably taste amazing i dont blame u for liking it
I'm a personal Chef and back in college I actually did a research paper on the Sigma of MSG which turns out to be ALL about RACISM! Back in the late '60s and early '70s, NYC Asian restaurants were starting to get more and more popular and sales started getting hirer and hirer. Some or I should say Most of course didn't like it. So secretly Non-Asian restaurant owners took Asian food to laboratories to find out what was in it. It was discovered that a form of salt MSG Monosodium L Glutamate enhanced the flavor of salt and made the food taste more savory. So we know what happens next?? Those Non-Asian restaurants started screaming MSG is bad for you just to make real Asian restaurants suffer. Unfortunately, the bad word of mouth, and also public bashing made sales drop, and made people scared to consume MSG. So Asian restaurants were forced to remove it from their cooking. That's why when you go to some Asian restaurants on the menu in bold lettering NO MSG. This is a shame because now after many years of research they have determined MSG is not harmful, or life-threatening. The scare campaign was actually a HATE campaign! There are many products out on the market that most consumers eat that have always contained MSG but they didn't mention those because they were trying to put Asian restaurants out of business. Today you can find MSG at/in KFC, Chick-fil-A, Campbell's soups, Doritos, Pringles, and a whole lot more!!! I use it in 90% of my cooking especially baking when salt is one of the ingredients. I get RAVE reviews for my Cinnamon Rolls!! Oh, by the way, I got an "A" on my research paper and my professor was originally from Vietnam! 😛❤🔥💋
Very well done 👏
Wrong. It's all about sodium. The symptoms people complain about the most, are consistent with mild dehydration. If a person isn't used to eating very savory foods (foods with a lot of umami) they may not drink enough fluids to help flush out the excess sodium which can cause symptoms of dehydration. MSG was discovered from kelp in Asia, so it's more heavily used in Asian cuisines, and this would cause cases of mild dehydration.
What is it with westerners and their pathological obsession with race? It's such a stupid and unscientific assumption.
Awesome! I'm going to try it in my baking.
Of course racism has to be blamed. There would be something seriously wrong if it wasn't. And the Hero Of The Day Award goes to ....
Did everyone clap?
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'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.
hahah Thank you Glen!! It took me around 4 months to work up the courage to make this video. I put it off for too long and I decided I needed to make it for my own sanity! Hopefully the comments stay clean, but I know I'm in for it hahah
I agree. America has a way of demonizing certain foods.
Glen?! Awesome! I need a nice quartz egg...🤣
Why the need to "convince" ? Some people don't want MSG in their diet, simply respect that and keep it moving.
@@thegreatbobinski6819 People are fine to choose not to eat certain foods. But when they start pushing pseudoscientific claims about those foods, that's a problem.
Got to love MSG. The idea that it is "poison" is just another silly myth of the chattering classes. Like cheese? Mushrooms? Tomatoes? Then you like MSG.
Funny enough people that say msg is poison will drink alcohol, vape, smoke weed.
@@Mikey-ym6ok exactly what my mom said
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?
The first paper about MSG "danger" was a joke article, posted on a joke section of a scientific journal...
The same section where a guy proved that chocolates are alive and things like that... it was't as much anti-asian as it was a prank...
But the hoarding that came after it was pretty much anti-asian and very xenophobic
The "old paper about MSG" was written by an Asian...
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.
ahhh thank you so much!!! I knew I would pronounce it wrong :/
And even in Peru, a country that speaks Spanish, we pronounce it as 'j' not 'h' :) maybe because we used ajino moto for the longest time and cause we have a large Japanese cultural background
It literally means "origin of flavor" or maybe "root of taste" 3 words, aji no moto.
J is pronounced like g not h in japanese,simple.
You don't see people in English speaking countries correcting you foreigners.... oh wait
I put it in almost every savory thing I make! If people knew why the food I make is better than anything they ever make, they'd probably freak out.
I put it everywhere and tell people about it all the time.
As for now half of my family got convinced to it.
go to hell
"The msg is the king of flavor"
From Japan so I appreciate MSG. Was never against it. Ajinomoto pronounced Ah-G-No-Mo-To. 💕

Yeh Thanks for being a shill for the industry.
My science teacher said she doesn’t eat Chinese food because of the MSG, since MSG made someone become a murderer... I wish I was joking..
If MSG made someone become a murderer, most everyone in Asia would be a murderer, there's nothing wrong with MSG, probably some people are allegic to it, as some others are allergic to peanut, for those who hate MSG just because, STOP HATING!!
MSG is such a beautiful thing!!
Using the word “science teacher” loosely of course.

@@djtangable7550 lol
MSG is pure chemical compound. but americans dont care they only eat pure garbage. GMOs Processed food. they have chlorine chickens. and more. american food is pure garbage. and MSG wont make it better. Stevia is the best thing to replace sugar with. 300 times sweeter then sugar. and 100 percent netural
Thank you! People tend to be afraid of things they don’t understand. As a chemist I encounter this phenomenon constantly.
i'm surprised you don't have a custom MSG and salt blend -- that's the real MVP of the kitchen.
Every person that told me that MSG is bad didn't know what the acronym stood for or even why it was bad for people
exactly
Sadly the people that say its bad dont realise its natural in a lot of foods.
Everyone I mention it to always says "migraines". I use MSG, I'm also prone to migraines but don't see a correlation when I use it or eat Asian food. Americans are missing out and that may be why they add more salt and sugar to foods...
@@Chino-Kafu What's crazy is when I give them the facts about MSG I'm either dismissed or yelled at smh 😔
At some point in the 80s it was also claimed it could cause cancer. At the time just about ANYTHING ‘could cause can er’...because they were feeding lab rats a thousand times more of whatever than a human would consume in their lifetime. Many of the modern ‘cancer scares’ are basically folklore that dates back to the 70s and 80s.
Thank you for this! I love MSG so much. I put it in everything and everyone raves about what a wonderful cook I am and how everything tastes so good and they ask why can't they get their food to "pop" like mine. It's MSG, my secret ingredient!

love it! I cook pretty regularly and when I mentioned to a few friends that I add MSG they lost their minds. I explained to them everything you said and they finally understand but its nice to have a video to send them when they still don't believe.
I also read that the whole MSG Causes cancer thing was started as a bit of age old racism during WWII to deter Americans from eating Asian food. Still blows me away that people don't use it more regularly.
I tried that, too. Explaining. Gave up. Now I just say I have "the touch."
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!
You absolutely will. Godspeed!

I got triggered when he started saying "Ahi no moto", so I went out and punched my neighbor. Great video none the less.
That caused me a great deal of discomfort as well. But then, I have a hard time dealing with all kinds of things like that.
For instance: "real.lit.tor" 😕 almost makes my hair stand on end. Then there's the way so many Americans seem completely unable to simply do things or instruct others to do something. They have to, "go ahead and ..." and the didn't do something, they, "went ahead and" did it. I really do hate to make a huge deal over such a seemingly little thing but I once counted 37, "go ahead ands" or "went ahead ands," in a single, 14 minute cooking video. It's maddening sometimes.

This actually reminds me of that old commercial that talked about why corn syrup is safe in moderation. Honestly, I use MSG all the time though, my family thinks I'm eating pure cancer but I love it.
hahahaha
Cryptocurrency1607 high fructose corn syrup is really awful though. “Everything in moderation” is a weird way to think in my opinion. Why would I want to poison myself just because I know I won’t die if I don’t over do it, when I have the choice and ability to not poison myself at all? Because it tastes good?
@@maximus4158 Why is it awful? I don't even get why it's called "high" fructose corn syrup. The most common form of it is 45% fructose and 55% glucose. That's less of a fructose ratio than table sugar, which is 50-50. And far less fructose than things like honey, which is 70%+.
Sugar in moderation is a good thing. The only thing bad about HFCS is that it is put in everything, so it's hard to have it in moderation.
MAXIMUS even water is bad if you drink too much of it
@@Aikano9 fun fact:Every person in earth that are dead drink water before.
This reminds me of when Kramer from Seinfeld asked for extra msg in his Chinese food.

I've tried ading MSG powder to home cooked meals, and it for adds a subtle "something" that enhances the flavors, but I've found that adding mushroom seasoning powder does the job much better (and to my palette doesn't add any "mushroom" flavor, just a nice deep meaty yumminess.)
Hi can I ask what brand you're using
Mushrooms have a ton of msg in it so that makes sense
I mean yeah, Mushrooms are one of the most glutamate-rich things in nature.
I have Ajinomoto in mine, use it all the time! Makes things taste amazing and adds that umami kick that's needed in soups, stews and sauces. I'm actually making spaghetti and meatballs right now and added a quarter teaspoon of MSG to both the meatball mix and the tomato sauce, such an amazing enhancer.
I find salt whenever I need it, I can't even remember the last time I bought it. But whenever I buy MSG, the pack disappears after a few weeks.
Nobody ever buys salt, it's always just there by default.
@Carl Panzram kilos are only used for drugs. Therefore, that isn't salt.
I feel the same way about gluten. Unless you have a medical aversion to it, it's fine. I have to hunt for vital wheat gluten to make bread. But the gluten free fad is in full swing... ugh...

What a fantastically informative channel. Loved it. Thank you for sharing it.
Nice one! Thank you. Gonna try this asap.
Already covered in the specific case of “ji” but Japanese is actually really easy - everything is a syllable, and everything is spelled in English phonetically, nothing is ever silent. So Ajinomoto is also A-Ji-No-Mo-To, and Nagasaki is Na-Ga-Sa-Ki. It makes more ease when written in Japanese, as the phonetic characters are a consonant+vowel pair, with the occasional lone vowel. Japanese also has a few modifiers, and when you see them you just slur them all together. So Tokyo becomes To-Kyo (slur the k-y-o together), not To-Ki-O (which is how everyone in the US says it). When in doubt, just make sure you pronounce every letter, and if you’re not sure which vowel sounds to use, they’re the same as Spanish vowels.

I recently researched MSG and came to the same conclusion as you. It is not harmful to most people and , in fact, is beneficial in lowering sodium intake when used instead of table salt. A very very small number of people are allergic to MSG ( but not as many as, to say, peanuts I think ).
Thanks for the information ❤
I’ve been cooking my entire adult life and discovered MSG recently on a CZcams cooking show. W😍W. I’ve always considered myself an excellent cook and so does my family but I’ve been adding MSG to most savory dishes since I really looked into it and now my food is absolutely next-level.👍👍👍

First off, great video, love your content
Second, tips on making popcorn:
Add flavours when you add the kernels
And don't cover completely, Let the steam escape so the popcorn doesn't get chewy.
thanks for this video !
If you're making a semi-scratch dish like a packaged curry paste or boxed soup mix that you know already contains MSG, do you add more as you prepare the dish?
I'm so glad you made this video! It's a shame that MSG gets a bad rap for pretty much no reason. I use it here and there, but never thought to put it on popcorn. Genius.

@@SauceStache dunno how it got that bad!?! Just spit-ballin here but maybe the giant "NO MSG" signs in front of chinese food restaurants had somethin to do with it... kinda hard to bounce back from that. 🤮🤮🤮
My friend and I used to have a little bowl of Worcestershire sauce with our popcorn. We'd dunk the popcorn in it, hear it "sizzle" and it broke down, and eat it. Somehow we discovered this as kids. It's amazing. Dump it all over your popcorn.

its so hypocritical that people have a fear of MSG while eating such insanely processed food where you cant even recognize 90% of the ingredients labeled on it!
THANK YOU!!! Its wild and I honestly don't even know how It got this bad! Around 4 months ago I was eating dinner with my family and friends... one of them said "Do you know that some restaurants spray their salads with MSG to make the lettuce last longer" At that point I knew I had to make a video... but because of all the hate it took the last 4 months for me to finally put this video out haha
Do you know why you can't recognize 90% of the ingredients in processed food? Because they're all convoluted ways of hiding the MSG and other free glutamic acid sources that are added into it.
Excellent video. Facts over nonsense. much appreciated.
Thank you!
Thankyou. I'm going to buy some
Honestly never heard of msg but now I think I’m gonna by some and try it because I love savory foods
You totally should!!!! Its wild the difference it makes
Don't do it,just make+eat good quality foods!
Man, I wish I had this video available to watch last week! So much of this video is what I included in my literature review that I just wrote for my graduate thesis as a food scientist! So glad to hear MSG be portrayed accurately :) Thanks for informing your viewers!
Thank you so much!! Hopefully people will start to have a real understanding of what MSG actually is.
Unfortunately there’s tons of people who don’t believe science 😂
Thanks for this information! I have to buy some!
Another thing that people didn't get right!
I just ordered some MSG for stir fries I never knew you could use it in soo many other meals so thankyou for the info :)
YES THE CZcams MSG REVOLUTION!!! All the cooking creators, myself included, have addresses this in the past 2 week.
change MSG with stevia. unless you dont like healthy products.
@@metalvideos1961 I think you're confused about something here. Stevia is a sugar alternative. Msg and stevia provide entirely different flavors. And I also think you may have misinterpreted the point of the msg explanation. It's perfectly healthy to eat. It's like salt in that is totally okay for consumption, just don't consume it in excess.
@James Ferryare you really this dense? Do you eat endless amounts of other seasonings? 🤦♂️
@James Ferry MSG is not sweet... At all. It is literally "savory seasoning". Just taste it
@James Ferry wew, that's a poor usage of brain matter.
I put msg in everything savory. In moderation. Just like everything else.
Jane you look really skinny too 🤔 I might have to try some out lmao
Based Centrist LOL

@Throngdorr Mighty You know meth actually has a really bad reputation. there are a lot of misconceptions about it out there, it's basically safe I mean we give it to kids in the form of Adderall
Awesome experiment
Fantabulous!!! Thanks. When all the voodoo came out about MSG I stopped using it (accent). My Hubby just bought me a 1 pound bag of it and it's in the kitchen awaiting a beef stir-fry!
Good video :)
I would recommend salting ingredients early on instead of at the end, that way it enhances flavors more instead of tasting salty
I am one of those people that react to it. I can eat something and tell if it has been added to it, usually within an hour. My fingers swell and the next day wake up with bags filled with fluid under my eyes (pretty freaky looking) and will generally feel rotten that morning. It may not be bad for you, but some people DO react to it, just like any other food someone may be sensitive to. Too bad cause it makes things taste so yummy.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ This video made me love your channel
This is such a good substitute for the fact that I used to use anchovies for pasta sauce.
Finally I can send this video to my dad! lol
hahah Send it!!!
@@SauceStache mine will just say its bs, its really disappointing
Sgtchickens I know that feeling :/
If you can find the old Bullshit segment from Penn & Teller, it's priceless.
Sgtchickens bruh fr. My parents will also probably say it's bs
My Grandma uses MSG like in all her dishes... she's 104 years old now. Also adding spicy garlic oil and MSG to fried peanuts makes them much better.
That sounds great I'm absolutely going to try that!
Like this has actually blown my mind
It’s awesome. I am currently running 1 part msg and like 8 parts nacl.
