8. Unsalted Tomato Paste
If you must buy tomato paste from the grocery store, make sure it is unsalted. Better yet, just puree ½ cups of tomatoes in a blender with a little water to create tomato paste in its purest form. Just half a cup of unsalted tomato paste gives 1.93 g of Glutamic acid. It is also a good source of good cholesterol, very low in saturated fat and is packed with Vitamins A, C, E, K and B6.
9. Walnuts
The only thing you won’t like about walnuts is that it’s a tough nut to crack. But once you get the luscious meat, you get a heavenly nutty taste of it. It is also packed with nutrients and amino acids. 1 oz of walnuts produces 1.42 g of Glutamic acid. Not only is it a healthy snack you can eat after a workout, you can also use it as one of the main ingredients in desserts like cake and ice cream or something nutritious like vegetable salads.
