MSG was an unfortunately infrequently used ingredient, yet here it was making our tongues happy.

The monosodium glutamate gave it an extra savory deliciousness that made me wonder if Elisabeth intentionally set the salad bowl out of my reach.

MSG is derived from the glutone of the amino acids naturally occurring in delicious, umami-packed foods.

MSG is derived from glutamic acid, one of the 22 amino acids.

The ingredient has had a tough go of it in North America .

Some people have reactions to MSG that caused them to suffer from a variety of maladies, including dizziness, headache, flushing, and burning sensations.

Too much of it can be harmful to you if you're ingesting ridiculous quantities.
