Inspiration

“A lot of stigma has been built up around MSH over the years. But the truth is, it’s an organic and naturally-occurring substance found in everything from tomatoes to cheese. It’s the thing that gives foods the meaty, umami flavor we love. Just like all other food additives, it’s perfectly fine for your body so long as it’s used in moderation.”

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Kosher salt or fine sea salt

• 1/4 cup monosodium glutamate (MSG)

• ~ 1/4 cup whatever dried herbs and spices you like (I used 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried marjoram, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and 2 tsp black pepper)

Method

Mix together and sprinkle on popped popcorn, or use to brine proteins or season vegetables before grilling or roasting!
