Question 1

This adds umami just like msg but no msg?

Accepted Answer

It's basically identical to MSG, just technically not MSG from a chemistry standpoint. Mushrooms are high in glutamate. So you're getting glutamate + salt. MSG is glutamate + sodium. Whether you use this or pure MSG, you're still getting the glutamate. Just that MSG has sodium combined with glutamate, and this tin has glutamate and salt separately. The word "umami" was invented by the scientist who discovered MSG. In any case,  MSG isn't harmful, so there's no reason to not try this.
