This 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



Aromat is great, but salt is the #1 ingredient in it.

The '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)


My diet is basically dried meats, cheese and olives. I will probably have a heart attack soon


I 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.


MSG is literally salt…

Is that the thing on the bottom of the label right before lark's vomit?


What are you talking about?


I guess I'm just getting too old with MP references...
