Beef broth cube

Beef bouillon cube is a solid, dehydrated concentrate of beef broth, specially designed to enhance the flavor of broths, stews, soups, and various culinary preparations. This ingredient comes in the form of small, compact blocks that dissolve easily in hot water, providing an intense meaty flavor and a salty touch that intensifies the taste of dishes.

The beef bouillon cube has its origins in the European tradition of preserving the flavor of broth in a practical and long-lasting form. Today, it is a product widely used in kitchens all over the world, including Latin America, thanks to its convenience and versatility.

Among its properties, its ability to provide umami flavor, facilitate the quick preparation of broths and soups, and its long shelf life due to the dehydration process and preservation with salt stand out. However, it is important to note that it usually contains high amounts of sodium, so it is recommended to use it in moderation, especially in low-salt diets.

In different Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, the beef bouillon cube is also known as: beef cube, little beef cube, or simply bouillon cube. These terms are synonymous and refer to the same product used to flavor a wide variety of traditional recipes.
