My wife bought jollof rice in one eatery recently for one of my kids who requested it with ice cream for her birthday. She kept complaining of how it tasted very sweet, like there was sugar in it.
She asked me to taste it but I refused. I told her it was the job of glutamate seasoning like Vedan, Ajinomoto, etc, popularly called 'White Maggi'.
She was shocked that a big eatery like that would use such.As I grew older, my body system started rejecting some foods. One of them is this white Maggi. It purges me seriously if eaten. As a result, I hardly eat out because most food sellers use it.
I worked as a chef and I saw things. Most of these big restaurants use it, they mix it to one of the ingredients in their kitchen, like salt curry,etc, so an outsider won't know. Then they use it to cook their foods to make them sweet.
Some caterers and those women who cook at parties also use it.
So anytime you eat out and purge, just know that may be the culprit (if your body reacts to it like mine).
It's true, while growing up, it forbidden to see any whitish seasoning whatever in my house except salt, my mom so much dislike them because of her experience too.
ReplyDeleteNo lies told
ReplyDeleteOne popular food content creator who is their ambassador will keep putting the Maggi to your face.🙄
One day I bought moin-mine and I purged all day,I knew that white Maggi is a culprit.
You mean a*roko doctor? Lol
DeleteI've never diagreed with him but when I saw the advert on tiktok ehn e shock me

DeleteAn episode she invited asherkine to make jollof rice. Na that aji** she pour.
Growing up, I heard that A*******o was bad, but now the kind advert it is getting makes me wonder.
DeleteCandy,they use it to wash stain out of white so I heard
DeleteThe people eating eatery foods don't know the damage they cause to their body system. I even heard that eating too much of it causes cancer
ReplyDeleteVery true.It's not only eatery or restaurant foods that have it in them o. when you call some 'olopo' to cook for a party, some will mix a lot of it with the grinded pepper. Na I'm dey make party rice sweet sweet. God help us
DeleteIf this is true, half of china would be suffering from cancer by now. Those guys use it for everything, even their small chops, like spring rolls and samosa.
DeleteEating Out is really dangerous
ReplyDeleteThankGod I do not eat out

Hello iya Boys
when we were younger,it was always seen in our kitchen till they said it wasn't good for our health.
ReplyDeleteMost eateries and caterers still uses it.
True
DeleteTruth is even the maggi n other seasonings u see around add it to their ingredients, that’s y sometimes even when u don’t use it and use those other seasonings, ur food ends up sweet.
ReplyDeleteBut, WHITE MAGGI IS NOT THE NAME OF THE PRODUCT. MAGGI IS ANOTHER PRODUCT ENTIRELY.
ReplyDeleteDid he say that is the name of the product? ITK
DeleteEveryone knows that is the popular name that most Nigerians can relate with, except you of course.
Just like all noodles are called indomie, detergents are called omo, etc
Vedan and Ajinomoto
ReplyDeleteIts been long I saw it in d mkt sef
If u use it to took...d food go just dey sweet anyhow...It's not healthy for consumption
So true about that ajinomoto. If I eat any food cook with it, na purging get me that day. I've never used it before and never will. Something my friend uses to wash her jewelries and they will come out glittering like never before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this info

ReplyDeleteWith all I read here, I will add it to my jollof rice next time and see if it will be sweet like party rice.
ReplyDeleteI don't purge if I eat out, so my belle like am be dat.
Something must sha kill a woman
Lol @ something must Kill a woman 🤣🤣
DeleteLady Port don't mind Nigerians. If it causes all what they listed above, then all Asians would have died cos that's their favourite seasoning.
They will go and eat food that is not well prepared or contaminated food and purge, then blame 'white Maggi'
Cover your jollof rice with foil. That's the party rice secret. I make killer jollof now.
DeleteI don't see anything wrong with the white Maggi, I don't know if my stomach is build to accept anything, it doesn't purgh me.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the reasons I don't like eating out. Thank you for the advice. I don't like white Maggi. Something is off about it
ReplyDeleteWhite maggi is MSG which is produced by the fermentation of starch like sugar cane. This fermentation process is similar to that used to make iru/dadawa, soy sauce, yogurt, vinegar and wine. It is used widely in cooking and in production of snacks like pringles, Doritos, cheese ball and all sorts of chips to increase umami.
ReplyDeleteIt is not dangerous to consume, even the regular maggi, knorr and co. have MSG as their major flavour enhancer. If you don’t believe me, pls google the ingredients used for maggi or check a package at home.
Like someone mentioned above, it is used extensively in Asia especially in China and Japan; those folks do not have excess mortality from the consumption of msg. Haven said that, individuals may have intolerance to it just like people have intolerance to milk, beans etc. Do your observation and tracking and do what works for your body. Please don’t generalize or spread hysteria . Thank you!
Thank you oh! That’s how I visited my mum and she had stopped cooking with curry and thyme, that they said it causes cancer. I was just speechless! The mass hysteria that they spread about everything in Nigeria is horrible, and the people who start these things are so dumb, they don’t even know basic science
DeleteBut white maggi (Msg) is not that harmful. I'm intolerant, so can't eat it, but it's not harmful. Regular maggi is even more harmful than it is, as regular maggi contains more sodium than Msg. And we all know too much sodium is not good for the body.
