Bouillon is a concentrated stock typically made from simmering animal bones, meat, or vegetables, often with added herbs and spices for flavor. It originates from classic French cuisine, where it is used as a base for soups, sauces, and stews. Commercial bouillon often comes in cube or powder form, typically incorporating salt, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and dehydrated ingredients for preservation and enhanced taste. While bouillon can be a convenient source of flavor and aroma, its high sodium content is a nutritional concern for those monitoring blood pressure or aiming for lower-salt diets. Homemade bouillon offers a healthier alternative, allowing control over ingredients and sodium levels. When enriched with vegetables and lean proteins, it can provide vitamins, minerals, and collagen depending on preparation methods. Whether used as a cooking foundation or flavor enhancer, bouillon is a staple with versatile applications in cuisines worldwide.
