Broth cubes, also known as bouillon cubes, are compact blocks of dehydrated stock made from vegetables, meat, poultry, or seafood, combined with salt, spices, and sometimes fat. Originating in Europe in the early 20th century, they have become a versatile staple across various cuisines for enhancing soups, stews, sauces, and rice dishes. While convenient and flavorful, broth cubes often contain high levels of sodium, so moderation is recommended for those monitoring salt intake. Some varieties also include monosodium glutamate (MSG), a common flavor enhancer, which some individuals may wish to avoid. Despite these considerations, broth cubes are low in calories and provide a simple way to add depth and complexity to dishes. For a healthier option, look for low-sodium or organic varieties made with natural ingredients. Perfect for busy cooks, broth cubes are a quick solution for bringing rich flavor to home-cooked meals.
