A Mother's Kitchen Partner: Ajinomoto Pork Savor All-In-One Seasoning

Filipinos love food with strong meaty flavors, which is why saucy, soupy or stir-fried dishes would usually be 

accentuated with pork meat or broth. It is for this reason that Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC) came up with a new product called PorksavorTM All-in-One Seasoning. 

Porksavor is made from natural pork meat extract and bone broth, complete with spices and seasonings to 

bring out the deliciousness of home-cooked dishes. The new PorksavorTM is available in 8-gram packs for only PhP 2.00 Suggested Retail Price (SRP). It is truly an affordable way to draw pork flavor goodness in dishes without the cholesterol.
