About Chicken bouillon
Chicken bouillon is a flavorful seasoning made by dehydrating chicken stock or broth, often combined with salt, spices, and sometimes herbs or vegetables for added depth. Commonly found in powder, granule, or cube form, it is a convenient ingredient for enriching soups, stews, sauces, and casseroles. Rooted in French cuisine, bouillon’s use has spread globally due to its versatility and ease of storage. Nutritionally, chicken bouillon is low in calories but often high in sodium, with some brands including preservatives or flavor enhancers like MSG. While it provides a quick burst of chicken flavor, those monitoring sodium intake or seeking low-additive options should check labels carefully. Healthier versions made with organic ingredients or lower sodium content are available, offering a better choice for mindful cooking.
