Southern Meat Seasoning

by B K Southern Meat Seasonings

A basic meat seasoning blend dominated by MSG and added sugar. While MSG is generally safe despite myths, the high sodium and added sugar lower its health value. The spice blend itself provides some antioxidants.

  • Monosodium Glutamate – safe · FDA-approved flavor enhancer that adds umami taste. Despite myths, scientific evidence shows it's safe for most people, though some may experience mild sensitivity.
  • Spices – beneficial · Blend of dried herbs and spices providing antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and natural flavor without harmful additives.
  • Sugar – controversial · Added refined sugar in a seasoning blend is unnecessary and contributes empty calories while potentially promoting inflammation when used regularly.
  • Onion – beneficial · Dried onion provides sulfur compounds with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, plus natural flavor enhancement.
  • Garlic – beneficial · Dried garlic contains allicin and other sulfur compounds with proven cardiovascular benefits and antimicrobial properties.
