Bisto is a well-known brand of instant gravy mix, particularly popular in the United Kingdom. It is a powder that, when mixed with hot water, creates a thick and flavorful sauce commonly used to accompany meats, stews, and vegetables.
This product is made primarily from meat broth extracts, flour, and spices, offering a quick and practical way to prepare a rich and consistent sauce without the need to cook from scratch.
Origin: Bisto was created in the United Kingdom in 1908 and has since become a staple in British cooking for flavoring various dishes.
Properties: Although it is a processed ingredient, it provides umami flavor and a pleasant texture to preparations. It is low in fat and contains salt and monosodium glutamate as a flavor enhancer. Due to its content, its consumption is recommended in moderation, especially for people on low-sodium diets.
Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: There is no exact equivalent term in Latin American Spanish, but it can be described as an instant gravy mix, concentrated bouillon powder, or simply gravy mix. In some regions, similar products are used with names of local brands or generic terms like instant sauce or beef-flavored bouillon powder.
