ARE MAGGIE CUBES (SEASONING CUBES) GOOD FOR YOU? SHOULD YOU GIVE UP SEASONING CUBES?

[@DrAleh]

It's been about 3months since I stopped using seasoning cubes. I never knew I could 'cook/live' without it. Sometimes my meals are bland 🙈🙈 but I am getting better. I know it is a healthy choice. Thanks for this video.

[@YAJESGARDEN]

congratulations for making the change. Your long term health will be better for it. thanks for watching

[@Ambrabenari]

Thank you for doing this video. I cut off Maggi and it's brothers, sisters and cousins a long time ago and I replaced it with pink Himalayan salt which contains over 80 minerals that's our body needs vs the high level of sodium from msg that retains water and hence inflammation. When my parents came to visit from Cameroon, I cooked for them for at least a month before telling them there was no Maggi in the food. My mom had to watch me to me sure lol. My dad's prostate psa went down (after 4 months of healthy choice foods and no msg) from 4000 to 300. They took a lot of pink Himalayan salt to Cameroon but when they ran out mom went back to Maggi but cut it off to half of her regular use. I wish she would cut it off completely. There are plenty of No-MSG seasoning but we have to do our own research. Most people that visit me don't know there is no Maggi in my food until after they eat and I tell them lol...and the chop di still sweeeeeet!!! Lol. That was a funny bit😂 Please do a video on pink Himalayan salt. The benefits are enormous. I have the energy of a gorilla most of the time and I want to put it in a bottle and sell it. Lol (well because I combine it with plant based whole and super foods). Thank you for your videos and yayy to 500 subscribers 💃💃👍🤩

[@YAJESGARDEN]

Something never ever sweet me so!!! Thank you for this write up. I’m going to screen shot and share. I’m doing a video on pink salt ASAP

[@luciana7750]

Wow i never knew that pink salt can actually replace the Maggie. Ill try it even tho I m using pink salt since long time ago didn't come ti mind to replace these 2. Thank u for the info

[@tarbinlam]

Omg... Anze, I wish I'd seen this earlier

[@maryjbabs]

Are you only using pink himalayan salt or you add something to it ?

[@Brainstorm-q4p]

I have shared this video to all my family members,

[@uchennandianaefo8631]

God bless you Ma for this useful information, it's an encouragement to me because I've stopped using Maggie long time ago. More wisdom

[@njongyembe6705]

Thanks for sharing. I eliminated Maggie cubes from my meals since 2019 and my meals still taste great. The tongue learns/adapts real fast.

[@YAJESGARDEN]

As always, Thanks for watching and leaving me a word.

[@phanibemsz7652]

Thank you for letting us know. There is need to report to relevant authorities and have Maggie cubes off the shelves. I am disposing off what I have and now I will start to make my own at home. Please keep us posted on other products that are ailing us! Congrants!!

[@SherifatSuliemon-lw6ls]

How are you making yours?

[@haliterdogan3003]

I use it for the convenience, but will try to cut down on it. I use onions, garlic, carrots, and sundried tomatoes as a base if I want more flavor, there are other vegetables you can use as well. Lemon also adds a nice touch, as well as salt, herbs and other spices

[@kenjifrancois3207]

Thank you for sharing the knowledge

[@dorcasnjumbe503]

Great info, will make more effort. Knowledge is power

[@etawek]

Thanks for this information. You have explained the effects of Maggi cubes on our health very clearly. Had heard about this cubes not being healthy and took it off our meals for a while then gradually went back to it. After listening to you, I will make more effort to take it off. Once more thank you Yaje.

[@LovelyMeeMee1]

I can’t believe this. The whole think is being trashed. Knowledge is definitely power. I grew up seeing my mother using this and I started doing the same. Horrible!!

[@tarbinlam]

Thanks for this Yaje!! Will definitely try eliminating Maggi and use the alternatives

[@christineempressone9197]

This is such a helpful video thank you for doing the research and for explaining the benefits of using natural herbs and spices versus the many msg substitutes. My family is half West Indian and has always made us read the ingredient to pick out what we should not be using m. I must admit as a first generation American, I bend the rules sometimes and use them 🤐🤐🤐

[@ndimba2166]

This video was worth watching , thanks 🙏🏾

[@YAJESGARDEN]

This means so much to me!! Thank you!!

[@sha77hse]

Thanks for your great information

[@uchennandianaefo8631]

It's been years I stopped cooking with these cubes after knowing all these information, I use ginger/ garlic curry/thyme and salt, believe me I have not regretted it. Use enough ingredients like meats of your choice, onions, ginger and garlic etc your food will taste delicious 😋 👌.

[@heltiami2928]

Good info. Thanks coach. Gradually we will get there

[@YAJESGARDEN]

That’s a word: gradually. It’s a process of continuous improvement. Thanks for watching and leaving me a word.

[@seank3336]

Damn people in my house hold literally spam it but I’m gonna try and make us stop. Thanks for the info

[@amazinggrace8981]

Information is power. This is what I just got. Thank you.

[@YAJESGARDEN]

Thank you

[@diyallthings]

I stopped eating Maggie cube but I miss it!!!!! 😭 What made me actually give it up is a comment I saw on the internet. “ does it mean that our hundreds of spices in the market don’t have enough flavor if there is no maggi ???”

[@prettyvee2379]

Wowwwwww thanks for sharing

[@amedeebessike7796]

Thanks so much for the video yes i had been struggling with taking cubes seasonings from my kitchen for many years and i succeeded only about 3 months ago. In place of Maggi i now use powdered fis Here in Ghana, bonga fish is pounded and sold. Same for djanga (shrimps). Now the tree thinks i used to enhance taste in my kitchen are *powdered fish, * djanga, *and soy sauce i try to read the Thanks o'ce more coach. For soy sauce, i try to checl tje labels to check against MSG before choosing to buy

[@phanibemsz7652]

Thank you for this information.

[@shortythepresident3913]

(Jamaican) I don't cook with that stuff. Too salt. One cube got more salt than the dead sea.

[@CarineFavour]

I laughed when u said that chop di really sweet. You never disappoint sis. Thank you for always sharing.

[@YAJESGARDEN]

❤️❤️❤️Thanks for watching and leaving me a word.

[@lovefromdrey]

Is jumbo chicken stock okay? I’ve stopped using maggi.

[@AbelAkaraTicha]

Great

[@Kahmanz]

I agree. The tongue can be trained. I stopped using Maggi for cooking in my house about three years ago. I use seasoned salt, crayfish and Adobo all purpose seasoning which I was happy to discover does not have MSG. But when I have to cook for people from my community, I use it for the food... sika I no want make person say my chop no sweet. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️Silly thing to do. I know. 😃😃

[@YAJESGARDEN]

I totally get you re: cooking for others. My philosophy is also not to force the way I eat on others. I share and if they want to eat like me, then great. If not, I just remove my share and add Maggie to everyone else’s. Thanks for watching and leaving me a word.

[@Dominikmj]

Books can be written by a lot of people. And doctors are not infallible. I am half ways with you- I do think that the overuse of bouillon cubes is alarming in (West?) Africa. But it isn’t the msg. Look - msg is part of a lot of delicious things - tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese, fermented foods. And the msg in these natural food is chemically not at all different than in isolated form! There are a lot of studies which totally exonerate msg of any health adverse effects. However - it is basically giving us a path to unhealthy food. The other ingredients in stock cubes? Well some aromas (veggies, meat extract etc) but also salt and hydrolyzed fats (now we are coming closer to the real culprits) and often even sugar! And most unhealthy food has msg combined with these unhealthy ingredients - hence we are training ourselves and our families to eat unhealthy… I am really surprised to say that, but in case of the dominant Nigerian cuisine, I would rather suggest to use pure msg instead of stock cubes (if people cannot really not use just salt and natural spices). What I do: I blend salt, kombu (kelp algae) and dried shiitake mushrooms and sieve it through a fine strainer and use that. Kombu and mushrooms have a combination of glutamates and inosinates - a combination which makes the umami effect 8x stronger - but it is all natural and unprocessed!

[@TamTam-yw7id]

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@Uploadkar]

I have high blood pressure.... Once i ate macaroni with seasoning cube... My blood pressure shoots up suddenly same day evening... Avoid packed food as much as can

[@msshamara43]

Same thing in Jamaica .... idk what this is about!

[@YAJESGARDEN]

really? it's crazy!!!

[@simplyjoecy]

I’m here watching and just remembering how sometimes my mom used to give us njamanjama with very little salt or maggie and we thought she was punishing us.

[@YAJESGARDEN]

Our parents knew what they were doing. We need to go back to our roots.

[@christnewanza4389]

Wow

[@YAJESGARDEN]

😊

[@sheynjobengorantimothy9472]

Without maggi my food doesn’t give me the special taste I need. With this video I’ll try to cut down my maggi intake

[@YAJESGARDEN]

So it’s the Maggie we are eating! Our taste buds have adapted to Maggie, but you will be very surprised if you remove Maggie. You will figure out better ways to flavor your food and get healthier in the process

[@sheynjobengorantimothy9472]

Thanks Manyi. I’ll try

[@sheynjobengorantimothy9472]

@DEBORAH2 IGWE-ONWUKA that’s so true. Our fore parents never used maggi yet their food tasted 👅 so nice 👍

[@wordsbymaribeja1470]

Start using bayleaf, thyme, marjoram, basil, the scotch bonnet has wonderful flavour, as do onions and garlic, you need to wean off of the Maggi, you're addicted to the effect it is having on your body rather than any flavour it is giving. Learn your herbs and spices, it will be a great new adventure.

[@gwenkari9802]

This is so true.

[@YAJESGARDEN]

Thank you sis. You would know.

[@OghenekaroIkede]

❤

[@cratorsmind9954]

i like this

[@YAJESGARDEN]

Thanks!

[@yangyangchen5843]

Thank you for sharing it..really useful information..I am going to stop it.I really feel that it is not good for my body.

[@YAJESGARDEN]

You can do it!😊😊

[@emmadelights933]

Wow thank you hun 🤝🤝

[@YAJESGARDEN]

You are welcome and thanks for watching and leaving me a word

[@celebritystories2156]

Besides MSG, the maggi chicken cube also contains chicken fat. so it's really not healthy.

[@msshamara43]

It’s happening in Jamaica. It is madness.

[@lovefromdrey]

It’s so true 🤣😂

[@CarineFavour]

Chaiiii I feel like trashing my ajinomoto after watching this video 🙈🙈 but I also don't like to waste let me just finish it and don't buy again. Let me also buy more of maggi cravette now

[@YAJESGARDEN]

Lol... I wouldn’t consider throwing away something that’s poisoning you a “waste”. I highly suspect Maggie crevette will also have msg, just shrimp flavored. Be sure to check out that is msg free. As always Thanks for watching and leaving me a word.

[@ndipobi5766]

I am getting off also. Thanks for this...

[@DaintyAbby]

Msgs give me headaches

[@holysamuel7530]

Ok

[@ngwaanikarawa2675]

I will reduce my maggi to 1 a pot of food and gradually reduce it to zero

[@YAJESGARDEN]

Yes dear... progressive step down is a good strategy. The dose makes the poison.

[@elevateesteembymaureen4546]

Woww..great video. Learned a lot today. I used to be a maggi lover except in vegetables. 😌😌😌 I just took upon myself to cook vegetables without salt and maggi unordered to enjoy the real vegetable taste.. Today, I have learned the reason why I should cut off completely. Another interesting thing i learned in the video "The tongue can be trained".. People usually ask me how I eat vegetables without salt and maggi and my answer is usually "because I love the real taste. Now I got a better answer. The tongue can be trained. Thank you coach for your educative videos.

[@Lindamorena]

Full of MSG

[@sylviawam4673]

Everything kills at this point

[@YAJESGARDEN]

Sorry you feel that way. This was meant to create awareness. There is a middle ground somewhere

[@nebaadeline8574]

Maggie are not healthy attol

[@shedrachchibueze821]

Wow
