But if you really want a meaty flavor, free glutamate and other bits of fully-digested protein are your friends.
- Probably your cheapest solution, on a per-meal basis, would be to buy pure glutamate (Aji-no-moto is a common brand that is extracted from bacteria-fermented sugar or starch. I found a large package for a few dollars in a Hispanic food store.)
- Yeast flakes are rather pricey ($8 per pound at my local health food store and twice that on Ebay) but are also a good choice.
- Soy sauce and vegetable bouillon paste are not such a good deal per meal (and usually quite high in sodium), but much cheaper per container.
- Canned tomato paste is cheap (a little goes a long way) and has a hint of savory too.
