Sodium Inosinate and Guanylate - I+G (45 gram)

I read that mixing I+G in a 1:16 ratio to MSG could really amp up the flavor punch it brings. I've been using this for a while now and that certainly seems to be true. If I'm making a homemade seasoning blend that includes MSG, usually just a pinch of this stuff is all I need. Lately my favorite blend is Italian seasoning, garlic salt, black pepper, MSG, and I+G; after air frying chicken tenders, a little brush of melted butter and a sprinkle of that seasoning mix elevates them from drab to addictive.The little container I purchased has a prominent place on my everyday spice shelf alongside the MSG, but it'll take me a long time to go through it because you need so little.If you don't use MSG yet in your cooking, it's worth giving it a try on its own first. If you already use MSG and are ready to take it to the next level, 16 parts MSG to1 part I+G is what you want.

If you like the umami kick from adding some msg to your food, this has a multiplying effect with the msg. Add a dash of each and umami blast your dishes.

This is an amazing product that, having now tried it, I'm shocked I didn't have it in my home cook arsenal before. Simply amazing, provides a depth of savoriness that MSG can't touch. To be clear, I still see value in MSG, but I hope to never be without this disodium ribonucleotide product again in my life. I got to say there aren't enough superlatives in the universe to say how good this stuff is.First off... The shipping was fast, four days faster than Amazon said it would be. It also came with a special note that truly touched our hearts :-) Thanks for that!Ok, on to brass tacks... My special, not-so-secret anymore, spice blend just got taken to a new level of awesomeness. It consists of garden Rosemary dried in the dehydrator, orange peel with the pectin removed by pectinase treatment and then dried, red Sichuan peppercorn, mace, black Cambodian Kampot peppercorn,mild Korean gochugaru red pepper flakes, San Marzano tomato paste dried in the dehydrator, MSG, and now this disodium inosinate/guanylate. This last ingredient has taken my mix from simply otherworldly to flat out heavenly.Thank you so much for making this product available to home cooks, for the fast shipping, the professional packaging, and especially the special touch :-)

As a home cook who eats a lot of plant based whole food meals, one of the hardest things is a lack of meaty savoriness.After using this for about 6 months I can confirm that it, when mixed with free glutamates (any of: soy sauce, msg, mushrooms, nutritional yeast, yeast extract), tells your body you're eating high quality protein. Think ramen noodles: they have little protein but you feel like you're eating a full meal.In animal tests it showed no toxicity at extremely high doses.If you're a home cook you should measure out about one or two tenths of a gram of this and then add it with a free glutamate source (see above). So this container has 500-1000 meals in it (expires in 5 years).It hasn't replace spices, but using it as above creates a subtle feeling a satisfaction after meals and makes them more cravable while eating.

I have been looking for a source of disodium 5-ribonucleotides for years now, for use in cooking, and I am so glad to have found some here. The addition of 2% of the I+G mixture to 98% monosodium glutamate definitely improves the overall umami impact to the point that I cannot now conceive of using MSG alone in most applications. I will add a little bit of this mixture to dips, salad dressings, and meat dishes, and I don't think I will be going back. Umami-fortified dips and dressings certainly helps my family eat more vegetables, and the increased umami punch helps my wife get more meat in her diet, which is important because she chronically doesn't get adequate nutrients like protein and iron. Better than eating ramen noodles which is what she habitually reaches for!And since 45 g of the I+G mixture will effectively boost the umami power of over 2 kilograms of MSG at a 2% mixture, this is a real bargain, almost feel like I am stealing with the purchase I made. A very satisfied customer.

Takes Umami to the next level in the comforts of your own kitchen. This special ingredient amplifies MSG goodness. SALT+MSG+I&G=AWESOMENESS! Thank you for offering this wonderful product. Worth EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY!!!

if you use MSG, you want this. Use per instructions, compare if you like, it makes a huge difference!If you don't use MSG, you don't need this, by itself it seems to do very little. But once you add just a tiny bit your MSG will have fireworks. Hard to explain, but Doritos doesn't add this stuff because they're feeling generous....This little jar will last for years unless you run a restaurant. Good idea to have a milligram scale handy too. You don't need much.

Like your Kool-Aid MEATY?Ever get a craving for STEAK, when sipping on grandma's sweet-tea?Orange juice too vegan for you?Well then .... you're WEIRD.But this actually COULD be pretty damn good in a bloody mary!
