- tashoecraft 5y agoSo is that comparing against plain red meat with no salt added? Because if so that’s not really a fair comparison because you generally add a decent amount of salt to burger whereas you don’t really need to for beyond
- calvinmorrison 5y agoThis is a great time to plug MSG... the delicious umami flavor wrapped up in one delish ingredient. I never used salt much growing up at home - we always used Aromat! I was shocked to learn that most of the world doesn't use Aromat! Everyone go buy Aromat! It's delicious but unfortunately seems to be mostly popular for Swiss and South Africans! It's perfect on tomatos
- jhgb 5y ago> This is a great time to plug MSG Is that the thing on the bottom of the label right before lark's vomit?
- canadianfella 5y agoWhat are you talking about?
- jhgb 5y agoI guess I'm just getting too old with MP references...
- Dah00n 5y agoI use it a lot too (but hardly anyone else I know here in Denmark use it except very old people). Aromat does contain 60% salt though.
- WillPostForFood 5y agoAromat is great, but salt is the #1 ingredient in it. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61RLf5EZveL._SL1050_.jpg https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61RLf5EZveL...
- lamontcg 5y agoThe 'S' in MSG is 'Sodium'. If you're limiting salt due to high blood pressure, you also have to avoid MSG (according to NIH and AHA)
- calvinmorrison 5y agoMy diet is basically dried meats, cheese and olives. I will probably have a heart attack soon
- garmaine 5y agoMSG is literally salt…
- flatline 5y agoI never add salt to ground beef patties, am I unusual in this respect? They taste fine without, especially when you add all the toppings.
- pfranz 5y agoWhen first giving my 4yo burgers the second or third time I forgot to season the patty when cooking. After one bite he said, "That's not food" and wouldn't eat anymore.
- canadianfella 5y agoMost people aim for better than “fine”.
- koolba 5y agoBurgers are always good. Burgers properly salted are always better. They even cook differently: https://www.seriouseats.com/the-burger-lab-salting-ground-beef https://www.seriouseats.com/the-burger-lab-salting-ground-be...
- Spooky23 5y agoDopey middle class people who don’t know how to cook buy 95% lean ground beef or turkey, because fat and it costs more. Latchkey kids like me didn’t learn to cook unless we cooked it up ourselves. Dinner was a product. If you use an appropriate cut of meat (like ground chuck), you don’t really need to salt as the meat has flavor. Salt will bring out more flavor, but you don’t need a lot.

- notsureaboutpg 5y agoYes, they are a novelty, not something I am going to buy and eat again. Most I talk to feel the same way. Perhaps they are good for vegetarians, and anecdotally I think those are on the rise.
- mosselman 5y agoCheese has more salt.
