A stock cube, also referred to as a bouillon cube, is a concentrated, dehydrated block of seasoning used to enhance the flavor of soups, stews, sauces, and other dishes. Typically made from a blend of salt, spices, dehydrated vegetables, and sometimes meat or poultry extracts, stock cubes offer convenience and a longer shelf life compared to homemade stock. Originating from European cuisine, they have become a staple ingredient worldwide. While they can provide depth to dishes without requiring extensive preparation, nutritional aspects vary. Stock cubes are generally high in sodium, which may not be suitable for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Some varieties are fortified with vitamins or offer reduced-sodium options. It's essential to check the label for additives, preservatives, or potential allergens. Incorporating them mindfully into meals can save time and add flavor without compromising dietary goals.
