Canned consommé

Canned consommé is a concentrated and clarified broth, made from meats, vegetables, and spices, which is canned for ease of use in the kitchen. This product offers a quick and practical base for preparing soups, stews, sauces, and other dishes, providing an intense and balanced flavor without the need to prepare the broth from scratch.

Consommé has its origins in French cuisine, where it is valued for its clean and clear flavor. The canned version became popular globally as a convenient solution for those looking to speed up the preparation of traditional recipes that require a concentrated broth.

Among its properties, canned consommé stands out as a source of umami flavor and nutrients extracted from the original ingredients, such as proteins, minerals, and vitamins, although the nutritional content may vary by brand, and it generally has added sodium for preservation.

In the Hispanic American context, this ingredient can be found under different names or related terms, such as concentrated broth, canned broth, concentrated consommé, or simply consommé, depending on the country and culinary context.
