Beef consommé concentrate

Concentrated beef consommé is a highly concentrated and clarified beef broth, commonly used as a base for soups, stews, and sauces in cooking. This ingredient provides an intense and deep flavor, resulting from the prolonged cooking of meat, bones, and vegetables, which is then reduced to achieve a concentrated texture and taste.

Its origin dates back to French cuisine, where consommé is a clear and clean broth, but the concentrated version is used to intensify the flavor in various preparations. In Hispanic American gastronomy, concentrated beef consommé is popular for enriching traditional dishes such as broths, stews, and casseroles.

Among its properties, its high concentration of nutrients from beef stands out, such as proteins, minerals (iron, zinc), and collagen, which also provide texture and flavor to recipes. It is also a practical option for enhancing dishes without the need to cook broths from scratch.

In different regions of Hispanic America, concentrated beef consommé may be known as concentrated beef broth, concentrated meat broth, or simply beef broth when referring to highly reduced versions or concentrated cubes/powders.
