Anybody ever use celery powder instead of using nitrates and nitrites? Does the meat last as long? Just curiousThe Bearded Butchers on YouTube have used celery powder several times in their videos for curing.

From everything I have read, the preservation process is identical regardless of the source of nitrates.

Celery powder contains nitrates, it's just a different source of the same curing agent. It allows the marketing term "uncured" since the nitrates are naturally formed.

This. It is the exact same ingredient, and a total marketing scam.

The presence of MSG in food may be difficult to detect since the terms "natural flavor," "flavoring," or "hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP)," all may appear on food labels to refer to MSG, according to current FDA food labeling codes. ("Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP)" typically contains 10-30% MSG.)
