People are not allergic to MSG as you indicate. – (6/11/11)ĪCCENT is used in the United states quite extensively as a flavor enhancer. On your site under accent you have the following – I want to point out that this is not entirely accurate. Injected MSG is not relevant to ingested MSG, as is the case in cooking. Please at least consider removing the injection study information. While people normally consume dietary glutamate in large amounts and the body can make and metabolize glutamate efficiently, the results of animal studies conducted in the 1980s raised a significant question: Can MSG and possibly some other glutamates harm the nervous system? Consumption of glutamate in food, however, does not cause this effect. Injections of glutamate in laboratory animals have resulted in damage to nerve cells in the brain. Abnormal function of glutamate receptors has been linked with certain neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s chorea. Studies have shown that the body uses glutamate, an amino acid, as a nerve impulse transmitter in the brain and that there are glutamate-responsive tissues in other parts of the body, as well. Research on the role of glutamate–a group of chemicals that includes MSG–in the nervous system also has raised questions about the chemical’s safety. It’s use has become controversial in the past 30 years because of reports of adverse reactions in people who’ve eaten foods that contain MSG. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is used as a flavor enhancer in a variety of foods prepared at home, in restaurants, and by food processors. Many scientists believe that MSG stimulates glutamate receptors in the tongue to augment meat-like flavors.Īdditional information on MSG from FDA and Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) by U. It does not have a distinct taste of its own, and how it adds flavor to other foods is not fully understood.
It is sold as a fine white crystal substance, similar in appearance to salt or sugar. MSG is the sodium salt of the amino acid glutamic acid and a form of glutamate. It is an optional seasoning and can very easily be left out of recipes. It is not a favored seasoning or enhancer in the United States as many people are allergic to it. It’s well worth checking out, and you might want to try it on vegetables as well as a mix-in for gyro meat (ground lamb or beef or a combination).Accent Seasoning – A seasoning also called MSG (Monosodium Glutamate). If your local stores don’t carry it, you can order multiple packs from the source or get a single package, enough to last a very long time, for under $5 on Amazon with Prime shipping. As to the mysterious “five other spices”, our guess is they include a bitter herb (mint or oregano) and thyme, though this copycat recipe adds cinnamon and nutmeg.Ĭavendar’s is still a one-product company (unless you count a salt-free version of the seasoning) yet they manage to have nationwide distribution in a way that other specialty products, like Durkee’s, finds challenging. And it’s heartwarming, if you love MSG as we do, to see it as the fifth ingredient.
The ingredients in order are salt, black pepper, corn starch, garlic, MSG, oregano, flavor base seasoning (hydrolyzed soy protein, sugar, onion powder spice extractives), parsley and “five other spices.” The cornstarch is undetectable and you wonder why others (like Burger House) don’t use it to keep their product from clumping. He and his wife moved to the Ozarks to take advantage of the outdoor environment and started producing it for sale in 1969. Spike Cavender grew up in Texas and Oklahoma and loved to hunt wild game he developed this mix as a seasoning for his bounty. And, though the artwork makes it look like it’s been around forever, in fact it was introduced a mere 50 years ago.
So what is this versatile stuff? It comes not from Greece but from a remote corner of the Ozarks. An ideal prep will have Cavender’s on one side of the steak, Burger House Seasoning Salt on the other. Although it’s advertised as the only seasoning you need, we mainly use it on grilled meats, especially steaks.
It’s anybody’s guess what those white things are on the grill hopefully they are not folds of his jacket.Ĭavender’s Greek Seasoning is something we always have in our kitchen. The chef appears to be sticking a fork in the steak with his left hand and shaking on seasoning with his right. We’ve been using Cavender’s Greek Seasoning since the 80s at least, and the artwork on the label has not changed in all that time.
