MSG in my homemade chile

Well I made the mistake of trusting the black beans and possibly the tomatoes last night.  It's always a
learning experience, sometimes I feel like the canary in the mines.
   Anyway I made chile last night with Eden Black Beans, organic beef, onion and Muri Glenn Tomatoes
and there it was that stomach ache of MSG along with the headache, so.....

Eden Organics Black Beans contain MSG in the form of Kombu "sea tangle"

Eden organics would have you believe that you are eating something organic, healthy and wholesome. But if you know anything at all about MSG (free glutamate) you’d know that simply is not true just by reading their label.

Eden Organics Black Beans

Ingredients
Organic Black Turtle Beans, Water, Kombu Seawood.

“EDEN Organic Black Beans are expertly prepared at our certified organic, circle k kosher cannery in east central Indiana. Beans are washed, soaked overnight and thoroughly cooked with water and a bit of kombu sea vegetable. You don’t taste the kombu, but its natural glutamic acid softens and enhances the flavor of beans. All water that contacts EDEN beans, for washing, soaking, and cooking

Guess I'll have to start using dried black beans to be sure of no msg, I've read other labels for black beans and it's disheartening how many have some sort of additive that is suspect and I am simply getting tired of being sick after eating something I prepare at home.  Remember to check the list on Truth in Labeling website since it is always changing.  It's like trying to hit a moving target and that's what the food industry wants.  If we don't know what it's called we won't know we should avoid it and it tastes soooooo good.

Just keep reading the labels and sending emails or even calling to complain to the companies.  The msg allows them to use inferior tasting products and we think it taste wonderful because our brains are being tricked by the msg.

Until next time
