Bought this the other day...



It's basically monosodium glutamate. Decided to try this instead of salt (which I use far too much of), and I must say it's pretty good... seems to bring out the flavour in the same way that salt does, but it doesn't have the salty taste.

There's been a lot about MSG being bad for you, but the science apparently shows that only some people get a bad reaction from it. So in my book, that makes it a better option health-wise than salt, which is universally agreed to be bad for you...
