@i.am.travelholic: The main secret of Thai food 🤯👇🏻 So, MSG (monosodium glutamate) is often called a flavor enhancer, but technically it’s a food additive. Back in the day, people treated it like almost a deadly poison. Now everyone says its harm isn’t proven and that it’s totally safe. The funny part? We still don’t really know that much about it 🤣 What is known is this: MSG makes any food taste way more intense. You get used to that “bright” flavor really fast, and over time, food without MSG starts tasting bland. Basically, it can be addictive 🥲 From my personal experience: I have allergies, and for the longest time I couldn’t understand what was wrong with pad thai. I love it, but it often makes me feel super dried out and triggers allergy symptoms. And I know I’m not allergic to the actual ingredients. Then I learned about MSG 🙂 And I started noticing the same reaction with any food that has it added… maybe it’s a coincidence, but I’m just being honest. Did you know about this?
