Chicken stock cubes are compact, dehydrated seasonings typically made from chicken broth, salt, fat, and flavor enhancers like monosodium glutamate (MSG). Additional ingredients may include herbs, spices, sugar, and preservatives. Originating from the convenience-focused culinary practices of the 20th century, these cubes are widely used in various cuisines to add depth and richness to soups, stews, sauces, and rice dishes. While convenient and flavorful, chicken stock cubes often contain high levels of sodium, which may not be suitable for individuals managing blood pressure or heart health concerns. They usually lack the nutrients found in homemade stock, such as collagen and minerals, due to their processed nature. However, low-sodium and organic options are increasingly available for those seeking healthier alternatives. Always check the label to match your dietary needs and preferences.
