Fish broth cube

Fish broth cube

The fish broth cube is a dehydrated concentrate used to enhance the flavor of dishes containing fish or seafood. It comes in a solid, compact form that is easy to dissolve in water or directly into the preparation, providing an intense and characteristic taste of the sea.

This ingredient originated from the need to simplify the preparation of broths and soups without having to make a homemade broth from scratch. Broth cubes emerged in the mid-20th century as a practical solution for homes and kitchens seeking speed without sacrificing flavor.

Properties: In addition to providing a concentrated flavor, fish broth cubes typically contain salt, fats, spices, and in some cases, flavor enhancers like monosodium glutamate. It is important to check the content for those seeking low-sodium or additive-free options. This ingredient is ideal for soups, stews, risottos, paellas, and any recipe that requires a fish stock.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: cubito de pescado, cubito de caldo de pescado, concentrado de caldo de pescado, cubo saborizado de pescado.
