Bouillon cubes are small, concentrated blocks of dehydrated stock made from a blend of meat or vegetable extract, salt, seasonings, and sometimes fat. Originally popularized in European cuisine in the early 20th century, bouillon cubes are now a global pantry staple, used to add instant flavor to soups, stews, sauces, and grains. While convenient and flavorful, they are often high in sodium, which may be a concern for those monitoring salt intake. Some varieties include artificial flavorings, added sugars, or preservatives, but healthier options made with natural ingredients and reduced sodium are available. Bouillon cubes can also be a source of quick hydration and minerals depending on their composition. They are a versatile shortcut for enhancing culinary dishes while their nutritional profile can vary significantly, so reading the label is key for informed choices.
