Maggi Liquid Seasoning 200g/7.1oz

Amazing product! Very similar to soy sauce with a slightly different flavor! Delicious!

Being 1st generation American of European parents, Maggi Seasoning was a main staple for soups and various other foods when I was growing up. The last time I bought a bottle, several years ago, I was really disappointed in the flavor – it tasted more like seasoned soy sauce than what I remembered from my youth.Unable to find Maggi at any grocery store in my area I decided to get it on Amazon. To my confusion I found that there are multiple kinds of Maggi Seasonings AND they are not the same! Reading other people’s comments also indicated that I wasn’t the only one confused by the different products and locations where they come from; especially since some of these products being sold do not include a listing of their ingredients. Here’s what I found out:MSG – Glutamate is a natural byproduct of wheat fermentation process so one will see “Glutamate” as a product; additionally, all European seasonings have MSG in it (some of the ones from China do not but they are also made from soy).Asian & Mexican made Maggi seasoning (JUGO, UMAMI, etc.) can be made with Soy and/or wheat gluten base. The taste is not as bold as the Wurze type. It’s “sweeter” and contains acetic acid.WURZE – is what I would call the “original” tasting Maggi; the taste that I remember it to be from Germany. It has a certain salty tang to it that none of the others do. NOTE: some people criticize that the nutritional information indicates that it is very high in Salt (24.9grams) BUT realize that in Europe the serving sizes are based on 100 mL’s which is a little bit more than 20 tsp’s (that’s 2 servings per 250g bottle!) In reality, less than 1 tsp per bowl of soup is more than sufficient.PRZYPRAWA – is from Poland and tastes close to Wurze in flavor. I would say that it is a little sweeter, probably due to the addition of Lavage Extract in it, and less salty (by 2.1g/100ml). It seems to be a watered down versions of Wurze which I would recommend to those who think that Wurze is too strong.As for AROME, it comes from France. I haven’t tried it myself so I can’t say specifically myself but the ingredient content and other people I have read their content indicates that it is saltier than Wurze.Hope this info helps. 😊

We have been using Maggi seasoning since the 60's, never had a bad one. It arrived quickly and wrapped good to withstand shipping.

I freaked out a bit when I saw the English American nutritional label stating a 1 teaspoon [5ml] serving size it had 1370mg [57% DV] of sodium!!! It would be insane that the Polish version would contain more than three times the amount of the Chinese version which contains 400mg at 17% DV.Looking at the Polish label, I believe nutrient label is for 100g (using water measurement, 1ml = 1g... math here may be slightly off due to Polish label using weight instead of volume and I don't feel like measuring weight of the sauce lol) and gives salt [sol] measurement; not sodium. I'm guessing this is what led to the the wild sodium level measurement in the English label. Using this info to translate this into a 1 teaspoon serving size, I did some Google searches and applied a bit of basic math:Salt [sol] is 22.8 grams.According to Wikipedia, 6g of salt contains 2325mg of sodium... so that's roughly 8835mg of sodium for 100g of the sauce [(22.8/6) x 2325].Translating this to a 1 teaspoon serving size which is approx 5ml [100ml/20]8835mg / 20 = 441.75Daily value of intake for sodium is 2400mg; 442 / 2400 = .184** didn't realize till now the DV for salt is just a bit over 1 teaspoon!So per teaspoon we're getting approximately:442mg of sodium; 18% DVSomeone please check my translation and math, I'm not Polish and barely have a grasp of mathematics :).*** Just for kicks, I found the French version of Maggi here which have measurements per 100ml and has salt [sel] content of 25.4 grams. Applying the same math, which if correct, the French Maggi has 492mg of sodium; 21% DV01/05/2020 EditRealized French Maggi label found on Amazon has both the weight and volume, so using this number250gram of Maggi = 200ml250g/200ml= 0.8200g*.8 = 160ml French Maggi, can't imagine Polish version is off by muchTaking previous number and increasing by 20%442mg x 1.2 = 530.4mg sodium per teaspoonUsing assumption the English label is for salt and NOT sodium1370mg x 20 = 27400mg salt(27.4g / 6) x 2325mg = 10617.5mg sodium10618 / 20 = 530.9mg sodium per teaspoon

Good stuff ! Have used it for years. Tastes great, & less filling.

Good seasoning!!!

Awesome seasoning

I just learned that this sauce is produced in many different countries and the ingredients and flavor can vary....greatly!! The sauce I prefer is Wurst from Germany. It’s not as salty as this sauce and it does not contain MSG as this version does. This sauce is also not as rounded as the German version, and the flavor fades more quickly. Ultimately, this sauce reminds me of an amazing soy sauce I used to buy from an Asian grocer. It’s similar to Megachefs soy sauce which is delicious and much much cheaper. This sauce and the amount will come in handy for my marinades but I’ll use the German version on its own for my finished meals. If I didn’t know the other version existed then this would rate 5 stars..but it does exist and it contains MSG.
