🧂 Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) 1 kg – Premium Flavour Enhancer for Authentic Taste and Umami Depth

1. Description

Unlock the secret to rich, savoury, restaurant-quality flavour with our Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) 1 kg — a high-purity flavour enhancer trusted by chefs, food manufacturers, and home cooks across New Zealand.

MSG, or monosodium glutamate, is a naturally derived compound that amplifies the umami taste — the fifth basic flavour recognised alongside sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Found naturally in foods such as tomatoes, cheese, and mushrooms, MSG enhances flavour perception, bringing out the natural savouriness of meats, soups, sauces, and seasonings without overpowering the dish.

Our premium-grade MSG is manufactured under strict food safety standards to ensure purity, consistency, and safety. It is free from artificial colours, preservatives, and impurities, offering a clean, white crystalline texture that dissolves easily and blends seamlessly into any recipe.

This 1 kg pack is ideal for restaurants, catering services, food processors, and households that prioritise professional results in their cooking. Just a small amount of MSG can transform your dishes, intensifying depth, richness, and aroma while reducing the need for excessive salt.

Perfect for use in Asian cuisine, soups, seasonings, sauces, snack manufacturing, and prepared meals, MSG is the culinary key to achieving that irresistible, full-bodied taste that keeps customers and families coming back for more.
