How does MSG enhance the flavor of whatever it is added to?
In: 34
It turns **up** the flavor receptors on your tongue. If five units of flavor hit your tongue, with MSG it tells your brain that it’s really seven units of flavor. Most anytime I’m eating something and i’m just bowled over how good it is, turns out it almost always has MSG in it, but i’m here in northern thailand and it’s something that it often added. there are no free lunches in nature. mess around with it and there’s always a price to pay. with MSG it’s often a headache or worse.
