The invention discloses a method for preparing L-glutamic acid chelated potassium monohydrate. The method comprises the following steps of performing a reaction by using potassium carbonate or potassium hydroxide, and L-glutamic acid as raw materials, and by using water of which the temperature is 70-80 DEG C as a solvent, clarifying a solution, adjusting the pH value of reaction liquid to 7.5-8.5, continuing a reaction at 80-85 DEG C for 2-4 hours, decoloring reaction liquid, performing filtration, performing concentration to a Baume degree of 36-38 degree Be, and then performing cooling to 15-20 DEG C; and adding L-glutamic acid chelated potassium monohydrate crystals as seed crystals to concentrated liquid, maintaining the temperature to be 15-20 DEG C, performing stirring for crystallization, performing discharging, performing centrifugation so as to obtain crude products, rinsing every 100 kg of the crude products with 5-10 L of deionized water, and drying solids so as to obtain products of which the chelating degree is 95% or above. According to the method disclosed by the invention, an organic solvent is not used, so that the safety coefficient of production environment is increased, and the cost of the raw materials is substantially reduced; the products are free from solvent residues, and moisture is easy to control; and besides, investment on equipment and sites can be reduced.
