Store monosodium glutamate (MSG) in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. A pantry or cupboard at room temperature is ideal. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent clumping or contamination from other pantry items. Avoid storing near strong-smelling spices, as MSG can absorb odors over time.
