So, what is le glutamate monosodique?

Monosodium glutamate, also known as MSG or "le glutamate monosodique" in French, is a flavor enhancer commonly used in Asian and processed foods. It is a white crystalline powder that is made by fermenting starch, sugar beets, sugar cane, or molasses. MSG contains glutamic acid, an amino acid found naturally in many foods such as meat, fish, and vegetables. It is used to add a savory, umami flavor to dishes and is often used as a substitute for salt. Although some people may experience sensitivity to MSG, it is generally recognized as safe by regulatory agencies around the world.
