Lotus Flavour Enhancer (MSG) in a larger 500g pack is the bulk-size pour of monosodium glutamate — the savoury flavour enhancer that adds umami depth to Asian, Caribbean, and African cooking. The 500g size suits households that cook with MSG regularly, or larger Caribbean and African kitchens where MSG is a foundation seasoning. Use sparingly: a small amount adds significant flavour depth. Particularly important in Asian cooking and widely used across Caribbean and African households for the proper depth their cuisines carry. Lotus offers everyday Asian kitchen staples at sensible prices.
