Description

Broth cubes are small concentrated blocks of dehydrated broth, typically made from a mixture of salt, fats, proteins, spices, and flavorings that dissolve in water to create a quick and tasty broth or soup. This ingredient is very popular in home cooking and for the quick preparation of recipes, as it provides intense flavor and enhances dishes without the need to make broth from scratch.

The origin of broth cubes dates back to the need to preserve the flavors of traditional broths and make them accessible and practical. They were created in the early 20th century and have since been a staple in many kitchens around the world, especially in Latin America and Spain, as well as in various international cuisines.

Regarding their properties, broth cubes offer a convenient alternative for enriching dishes, providing sodium, fats, and flavorings. It is important to use them in moderation due to their high salt content. Their variety can include options such as chicken, beef, vegetable, fish, and more, making it easy to adapt to different recipes and preferences.

In the Hispanic world, broth cubes may also be known as broth cubes, little broths, broth concentrates, or simply soup cubes. These terms may vary by region, but they always refer to this practical ingredient for flavoring soups, stews, rice dishes, and sauces.
