What spice would you want June to delve into next? 🧐

Plant based foods contain more GMP (as well as MSG) whilst animal protein sources contain more IMP in fusion with MSG - hence why veg (and fruits) can have an umami quality to them. The longer they are left to ripen, the more GMP and MSG they contain. I did a whole PhD on MSG, lovely to see these myths debunked and a chef who uses MSG with pride!

FOR FLAVOR!

i have an ed and june has changed my life when she said "eat food that makes you happy". i can't thank you enough. everytime i struggle, i think about that and it helps me tremebdously. thank you!

I agree with June. Delish we. Need. To see June more often. Get. Ur own page June. I will watch all ur videos

maybe they should name msg as "kelp salt" so people wouldnt be scared 😂

Please use this comment as a "I would die for June" button.

yup. some people complain that Chinese food gives them the "symptoms" but they can eat a big bag of American chips that also has MSG in it with out feeling anything. lol Im sure some people are allergic to it. People can be allergic to water after all. I'm just annoyed by people who says they're allergic so they "avoid" msg but eat chips with them added and not have problem.

Those symptoms the doctor reported sound like a minor heart attack, something they weren't able to identify well in 1968.

Delish: "In case you haven't met June..." Reality check : She's literally the only reason 99% of us still come to this channel to begin with

The fear of MSG is literally rooted in racism.

My mom was Japanese and i was raised on food that was seasoned with msg. It never hurt any of us. My mom passed in 1987 and i still remember what an awesome cook she was. Love msg. I still see that red and white round box of accent in her spice cupboard (msg).

In Peru, we use MSG in a regular basis. We call it by the brand name "Ajinomoto".

Please do a valentine's day 25 dollar food challenge!!!

June just shoveling crisps in her mouth whilst Aaron is trying to come up with a MSG master plan 🤣

In conclusion, the reason people hate msg is racism

I feel like we just assume anything delicious is bad for us. When it really doesn't have to be. I'm sure eating MSG in massive quantities is not good for me. But neither is eating massive amounts of anything else.

If I taste something that I’m cooking and feel like it’s missing something, I will usually add MSG. A pinch can do wonders for anything savory.

I really need June to keep a weekly show coming! I don’t really care what the topic is. I’ve loved the Budget episodes, the zoom cooking, and the spice show! I hope this will be a recurring thing!!! Really, anything with June! Also, I love Popcorners!!! Also, also...I love the hair! Want to see more!

I bought some for the first time recently and enjoy adding it to things. It causes no harm for my family. The trick is to pull back on the salt when using it.

My mother-in-law: don't buy chicken bouillon it has msg. Me: bought 3lbs of pure msg.

I could watch June talk about anything for as long as she wants to

Okay, one problem with MSG is the way of how it is produced. In Germany many companies abolished the classic MSG in their products due to marketing reasons, replacing it with a MSG pre-product that contains natural MSG. They call it “yeast-extract”. The problematic thing with the yeast is it’s ability to ferment sugars into alcohol. While the “yeast-extract” is produced, it naturally ferments sugars that are used in the production. This fermentation process is of course not completed, otherwise the companies would be left with alcohol. So, as a byproduct, the yeast-extract contains “sugar-alcohols” that have not gone through the complete process of fermentation. Many people have a severe reaction to sugar-alcohols, which cause massive diarrhea, extreme bloating and stomach cramps. This is classified as a FODMAP-intolerance (fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides and polyols) or “Non-celiac-non-wheat-sensibility”. It can easily be tested out by eating a spoon of the sugar replacement Erythritol. So the problem is not the MSG itself. It’s the byproducts that are left in the production processes. MSG that comes in a pure form as a seasoning might not have that problem, but a convenience food might be contaminated with sugar-alcohols.

My mom is sensitive to MSG, but she's never stopped my siblings or me from eating stuff with it added in (Doritos and ramen for example). She's sensitive to lots of other foods, such as cucumbers, coconut, and rosemary, so that probably helped her know that it wasn't a problem for others - that, and she knew we'd eat it anyway! 😅

I love it when people say “our family is sensitive to msg so we don’t use it, we use better than bullion! It has no msg on the box. It’s amazing, no msg but it brings so much depth in the flavors” Then when you decipher the ingredients list, it’s just msg in fancy terms 😂

No offense delush, but is there a way to get just June's notifications? 💙

I'm not usually on youtube, but ever since I found June on delish, I check youtube almost everyday hoping for a new video! Love the creativity and the attitude! Adds a dose of happiness to viewers :)

Tomatoes have amino acids in them, which are the building blocks of proteins? More June!! She's MSG to the Delish channel

Hooray, will always, always watch a June video!! My request is June's approach to and thoughts on curries - differences between the flavor profiles for the different countries of origin; how to approach creating your own curry blend if you are lucky enough to have a spice market; surprising ways to use it; etc. Thanks!

missed you June! Happy new year! Will you do a Chinese New Year budget meal?

Can we talk about June's hair? I keep picturing her on a motorcycle and wearing a feathered earring.

Thank you for this entertaining MSG explainer, June! The smear campaign against MSG is rooted in racist fear mongering and I appreciate the work you are doing here to help educate your audience.

June, I bought SUMAC to season sweet potato fries and have never figured out another use. Please demystify sumac!

Once again: I am a simple woman, I see June, I hit the like button.

Some just would never give up their preconceptions. Thank you for the video.

Great video! My dad was the MSG police whenever he ordered Chinese food for us when I was a kid, and I grew up thinking it was bad. I'm happy to have my eyes opened. As with many spices and salts you've cooked with on this channel, I look forward to trying MSG in my own cooking!

Our Queen is finally back!!

“You’re the tomato of people” Gonna marry the first person who tells me that 😭

We adore msg in this house and use it in place of salt all the time ❤ as someone who grew up with most of my time in Asian homes it was a right of passage to have this next to my kosher salt ❤ thanks for breaking the mold and supporting one of my favorite spices!

Everyone who avoids msg needs to come to terms with the fact that "yeast extract" is a form of msg.

Fellow commenters - If you don’t complain about chips and Parmesan then zip it about MSG because they contain it.

Finally we get our JUNE fix😁....JUNE WE NEED U STOP WAITING SO LONG TO POST🍤🍣🍱🍛🍚🍲🍜🌶🌽🍌

Finally! I tried to convince my skeptical friends this years ago, and Google just started and I used it. It used to peeve me when I saw some Chinese restaurants had a big old sign that said OMG to pander. Glad to see more people are talking about this nowadays! Edited to add: so much work and content in this video. Love it!

I'm really interested in that difference between the cold and cooked application. Overall this was marvelously informative, as appreciated of June.

Just so you know, packaging doesn't actually have to list "MSG" in the ingredients for it to contain added MSG. Because it is natural, many labels just say "Natural Flavor". which may or may not mean MSG, so it's really hard to be sure.

June went to town on those guacamole Tostitos! 😂

Hearing June say "also" makes my heart smile.

Mang Juan is from the Philippines! So happy it got featured. Thanks Aaron for loving it. I don't hate you now. Haha 🙃

June was in 2020 and now in 2021 my favorite online person!

Id love to see June have her own KZfaq channel. We love you.

“MSG” -she whispers

MSG is like the “parabens free” nonsense in skin care.

I love June. Please bring her back more often Delish!

11:43 Aaron: blah blah blah June: crunch crunch crunch

Due too only having one working lung and severe asthma. MSG is a no no for me. Yet I find this fascinating June. Thank you ❤️

Awesome segment-thank you!! I ordered some MSG last week to experiment with purely because you often use it. You are amazing!

"Like, slightly burning plastic. In a good way." June says the darnest things.. LOL

Filipinos when that bag of sweet corn and Mang Juan was shown: "So, you have summoned us"

My MSG of choice is the Knorr chicken and shrimp bouillon powders. I add them to everything. The first ingredient is salt, second is MSG. Everybody's grandma uses Knorr, the stuff in the green and yellow jar or box, but it never gave them "Chinese restaurant syndrome". As a kid I always saw "No MSG" on things and never knew what it was or cared, but when I grew up and found out the who behind demonizing MSG, I actively sought to consume it.

I found this account over 2 weeks ago now! My favourite account of all times now!

MSG are literal flavor crystals! In my home, we put it on everything!!

Love the structure and research in this! June's way of laying it all out is really great too!

I’m very allergic to msg!! My mother used it for years & was always sick. I break out, my heart races & it triggers an asthma attack. Soy is a trigger too.

i was going to ask who cuts bags of chips with scissors when you pulled out yours 🤪

Juneeeeeeee! We've missed you =)

I gave msg a try awhile ago after watching June use it. I like it a lot and I’m happy to have it now

Unami. There is nothing wrong w/ MSG It’s a Natural Product Use in Moderation.

Lol at Aaron failing so hard. I think all those spicy foods ruined his palate 🤣

I can just imagine what concoctions June will create with all those leftover snacks 🤣 can’t wait to see.

I usually go numb after eating Chinese food, but its due to the nirvana state I reach from consuming such perfection! Also, give June her own chanel already!

Missed you June!! Hope your taking care of yourself as much as you take care of us! So much love in your videos. And the hair is awesome lol

Bob Ross in the morning, June in the evening. Anxiety? What anxiety...

Only show up if it’s June 🤷🏻‍♀️😍

Since glutamate is an amino acid, I wonder if it undergoes a Maillard reaction when cooked?

Thank you June! I was completely ready to hate this video even though I love everything of yours. You pointed out we need salt, yes. You pointed out that SOME people could have reactions while most don't, yes! Most of this people are neuroaytypical. Raising and waving hand vigoursly here. MSG can act as a stimulant being a catalyst for many reactions. Waving hand again. Thank you again for not disrespecting and dismissing those of us who really do have to deal with multiple filler reactions. 😊❤

your new hair is sooooo cooollllll! love June's videos

MSG is great my mom makes her fried rice with it and says the same deliciousness won’t be there without it

Love the hair!🧡

My mom had an msg sensitivity for years but she's also allergic to mushrooms and egg yolks, both of which have natural msg. But msg stigma IS real and it NEEDS to be addressed. Thank you, June!

Normally food producers use MSG because it’s easier and cheaper to add flavor to things. I agree with Aron in that point. It depends a lot on the budget and the objective of the product, like if it’s a more “healthy snack” or a more “organic” snack. If it’s just a regular snack they will add msg instead of mixing and combining complex flavors and spices. It is up to you if you want to consume msg or not but as everything in our lives we need to respect other people’s opinions!! Loved the vid June!!

Ive heard the same thing from David Chang in his Netflix show! Also my husband is from India and has always used it when he cooks

Favorite quote of the video. June is the tomato of people☺️

June, you are one of my favorite creators to watch, thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos 🥰

This was so so so cool to watch! I feel like I learned so much ♥️ thank you, June!

Delish worked SO HARD to not call out MSG-stigma for the outright racism that it is in their 6 minute history intro but you know. you KNOW.

I literally only subscribe to this channel for June and I literally ONLY watch her videos. MORE June please.

I just bought a bag of msg because of your Videos. This Video couldn't have come at a better time. Yeeeeeeeessss

i add msg to all of my dishes lmaooo, and even additional additives amd guess what? im well and alive. i think msg is really cool that it is recognise as the 5th taste bcs it just tied everything together and completed the dish where the taste lacks

In Malaysia, we call MSG as Ajinomoto. Regardless of what brand, we still call them Ajinomoto lol. And you know, Ajinomoto brings another level of taste to dishes especially in Asian recipes. Long live Ajinomoto! HIDUP AJINOMOTO!

Thanks dear for sharing about MSG .. there are lots of controversy about its use...I used it but in moderation, good work, you will find me around 👍

The gizzards cooked second, with MSG, tasted more salty because June cooked that batch in the same pan that she cooked the non-MSG gizzards in. She included salt in the pan the first time and then used the same pan to make the MSG-salt gizzards. So I think that’s why Aaron was tasting and perceiving the MSG batch of gizzards are more salty; they actually were! This was a cute and fun video. Love this June! Thanks for reaching us all something new in an engaging way.

never heard of msg before June..really want to get my hands on some now

I like using msg too. Missed you June!

yes. thank you for this video. I used to avoid msg at all costs. it was pointless of course.

Another show with June and we LOVE IT! Thank you Delish!

"You're the tomato of people" 😂 I love June and Aaron!

JUUUUUUUNNNNEEEEEEEE!! WOOHOO!

"Accent" was/is a friendly name for MSG...

I use msg in my cooking and it does help the flavor.

If I remember it right the story around MSG goes so much deeper. The doc that said that MSG is bad does not even have the Chinese/Japanese name that he stated. It was a move against the rise of Chinese restaurants in the US. A lot of people actually had the syndrome with the headache which was mostly rooted in them eating too much at the restaurants and by that eating too much salt which lead to them feeling dryed out (more salt, more drinking needed) and that lead to dehydration headaches and salty headaches. So they just pushed it on the MSG. Even if it has nothing to do with it. 🥲 Ridiculous.. super weird.
