Description

Low-sodium beef bouillon cube is a concentrated ingredient used to provide a rich and deep flavor to various culinary preparations, especially soups, stews, sauces, and braises. It is a compact cube that dissolves easily in water to create a beef broth with reduced salt content, ideal for those who wish to control their sodium intake without sacrificing flavor.

This product is very common in international cuisine, and its origin dates back to the need to simplify the preparation of homemade broths without having to cook bones or meat for hours. Currently, bouillon cubes are industrially manufactured with concentrated beef extracts and spices, and the low-sodium version offers a healthy alternative while maintaining the characteristic flavor.

Among its properties, its contribution of umami flavor stands out, which enhances the taste profile of dishes, and its convenience by reducing preparation time. Being low in sodium, it is especially useful for people who must follow specific diets.

In different Latin American countries, this ingredient may also be known as low-salt beef bouillon cube, low-salt cube, or simply dietetic beef cube.

Its use is very versatile and easy: it is simply dissolved in hot water and incorporated into the recipe to enrich the flavor without adding excess salt.
