About this product
Tien Chu Ve Tsin is a flavour enhancer from China that is widely used in Asian cooking. It consists mainly of monosodium glutamate (MSG), which provides umami, a fifth taste alongside sweet, sour, salty and bitter.
Monosodium glutamate has been in use since 1908, after its discovery by the Japanese chemist Kikunae Ikeda.
Usage and preparation
Use Tien Chu Ve Tsin to give dishes a richer, fuller flavour. It enhances the taste of the other ingredients without the need to add extra salt.
