- mark_l_watson 2y agoThat is correct. I buy a liquid specifically labeled as ‘Umami’ that my family adds to vegetables, rice, etc.
- echoangle 2y agoIs the liquid MSG solution or is there something else in there?
- mark_l_watson 2y agoNo MSG.
- echoangle 2y agoSo what is it?
- mark_l_watson 2y agoYondu vegetable umami
- echoangle 2y agoThat seems to be made from fermented soybeans which is also how pure MSG is produced. I’m pretty sure the main active component of this is also just MSG, although they point out that they don’t explicitly add artificial MSG.
