Chicken bouillon powder is an essential ingredient in many cuisines, consisting of a dry, finely ground concentrate of chicken broth. It is used to provide an intense and authentic flavor to soups, stews, sauces, and various culinary preparations, offering a quick and practical way to enrich the flavor without the need to prepare homemade broth from scratch.
This product originated from the need to easily preserve and transport the flavors of traditional broth, evolving from homemade preparations to commercial presentations. It is made by dehydrating cooked chicken broth, along with spices and sometimes salt and flavor enhancers.
Regarding its properties, chicken bouillon powder is a concentrated source of flavor and generally contains mineral salts and some nutrients derived from chicken. However, it usually has a high sodium content, so its use is recommended in moderation for low-salt diets.
In different regions of Latin America, chicken bouillon powder may be found under various synonyms such as chicken broth powder, powdered chicken seasoning, crushed chicken bouillon cube (when in crushed cube form), or simply bouillon powder. In all cases, its function in the kitchen is the same: to enhance the flavor of preparations in a simple and quick way.
