Plain MSG absolutely does not taste bitter. I just tried some (again) to confirm, it's not salty & not bitter. Just a strong flavor of its own.

- BobaFloutist 6mo agoYeah it just tastes like straight up "savory." Almost tastes like fat more than anything.
- Kirby64 6mo ago> Almost tastes like fat more than anything. Probably because a lot of fat sources have high levels of glutamates in them. You're not tasting the fat, per-say, but the other stuff that isn't fat. It's why beef tallow is so much tastier than neutral oil. Same level of fat.
- cubefox 6mo agoYeah, I also just tried it, it doesn't taste bitter at all. It tastes like clear soup broth, which usually contains a lot of MSG.
