Completely changes the taste of food. Especially in omelettes. Its last us a while as a little goes a long way. Fab value for money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheapest source to try MSG, and it changed my cooking *by E***M on 22 July 2025* I love trying out new ingredients and cooking different dishes, so I was excited when I started to learn about including MSG in home Asian food. After looking around in local shops and online, I have found that this is by far the cheapest source for the stuff. I'm incredibly excited with how it has transformed my food! It shockingly doesn't really "taste" like anything, but brings out other flavors in your dish that weren't noticeable previously. The best way I can describe it is just the essence of takeout Chinese food that you can sprinkle into your food at the end. I totally recommend getting this, even if it's just to try out MSG for the first time. Its a great price, does great things for your food, and is a very decent sized bag to last a long time in your kitchen. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ajinomoto - Umami Seasoning Monosodium Glutamate - 200g - LUCKY BOAT Thick Chow Mein Noodles 900G | Restaurant Quality | No.1 Thick Noodles | Egg Free Noodles | Bulk Noodles | Stir-Fry | Noodles | Vegan | Wheat Noodles | Chinese Noodles | 900G (PACK OF 1) - SPIRITCROWD Shaoxing Cooking Wine (For Cooking Only) 700ml 14% Alc./ Vol --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/64354605-aji-no-moto-monosodium-glutamate-200-g-pure-food-grade](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/64354605-aji-no-moto-monosodium-glutamate-200-g-pure-food-grade) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
