Maggi Seasoning

Maggi seasoning is a concentrated liquid additive used to enhance the flavor of various dishes in cooking. Its flavor is intense, umami, and salty, similar to soy sauce but with a unique profile that adds depth and richness to preparations.

This seasoning was created in the late 19th century by Julius Maggi in Switzerland, and since then it has become popular in many cuisines around the world, especially in Spanish-speaking countries. It is highly valued in recipes for soups, stews, meats, rice, and sauces for its ability to boost flavors.

Regarding its properties, Maggi seasoning is low in fat and carbohydrates, but it contains sodium, so it is recommended to use it in moderation. It not only intensifies flavors but can also partially replace salt to give dishes a more complex touch.

In different countries of Latin America, Maggi seasoning is also known as sazón Maggi, salsa Maggi, or simply Maggi. Although similar products exist, the term usually refers to this specific Maggi brand product, which is very common in both home and professional recipes.
