Answer 6

Monosodium glutamate, a "flavor enhancer."

Some people are very sensitive to this stuff.

Some people try to avoid it even though they don't have a verified problem with it.

I worked for a Chinese restaurant a long time ago and they put it in almost everything.

I liked the way it tasted at the time. It's kind of like regular table salt but it has a slightly different flavor. It's probably not the healthiest thing to have, but I guess it's okay in moderation as long as the person can tolerate it.

I don't think Chinese restaurants use it as much as they used to, but I'm not sure about that. It's used quite a bit in chips and some other foods, though.

As far as I know, it's vegetarian. Made from fermentated beet or cane sugar.

monosodium glutamate
