Bouillon is a flavorful liquid base used in cooking, typically made by simmering meat, vegetables, or bones with herbs and spices. It originates from French cuisine, where the term "bouillon" refers to broth or stock. Today, bouillon often comes in concentrated forms like cubes or powders for convenience. Traditional variations can be rich in nutrients, offering minerals, amino acids, and gelatin, especially when made with bones and fresh ingredients. However, store-bought bouillon products may be high in sodium and preservatives, which can be less ideal for heart health when consumed in excess. Bouillon is versatile, enhancing soups, sauces, stews, and grains with deep, savory flavors. Opting for low-sodium or homemade versions allows you to enjoy its benefits while tailoring it to your dietary preferences.
