      There may be. But odds are you’ve just gotten used to it.

      We crave flavor and most of the canned/boxed stuff we consume is just low quality crap with generic flavor profiles and a butt ton of salt.

        Makes sense. I sometimes add a crushed garlic clove, some herbs, salt, pepper, msg, and brunoise carrot before cooking to augment.
