Description

Chicken flavored bouillon cube is a dehydrated concentrate that is used to add flavor and aroma to dishes during cooking. It is generally made from salt, fats, seasonings, chicken extracts, and other ingredients that enhance the taste of soups, stews, rice, sauces, and a wide variety of home and professional recipes.

This ingredient originated from the need to simplify the preparation of broths and flavor bases, especially in quick and practical cooking. Popularized worldwide since the early 20th century, the bouillon cube has evolved to offer versions with different flavors and to adapt to various culinary preferences.

Among its properties, its ability to intensify the flavor of foods without having to prepare a homemade broth from scratch stands out, along with its long shelf life and easy storage. However, it usually contains high amounts of sodium, so its use should be moderated to avoid excess salt in preparations.

In the Hispanic American world, besides chicken flavored bouillon cube, this ingredient is also known as caldito de pollo, cubito de pollo, pastilla de caldo, or simply cubito de pollo.
