The debate continues on the use of Chinese salt commonly known as Monosodium Glutamate (or Ajino moto as we say). Although we use it very regularly in our Chinese recipes, we have never given a thought on whether its good for our health or not.
Many people have been reported for side effects after eating this salt and we never give a thought to whether it really enhances the taste of our food or not. Most people add it in their food just because they think it’s a necessary element of Chinese food. But in reality it is not. I never used it in my recipes and still get the same taste from my Chinese recipes.
Ehow gives an insight into the Effects and Side effects of using the salt.
