Beef broth granules

Beef broth granules are an essential culinary ingredient used to provide an intense and concentrated flavor to a wide variety of dishes, from soups and stews to sauces and side dishes. It is a fine powder made from concentrated beef extracts, spices, and salt, which, when dissolved in water or incorporated directly into the preparation, provides a delicious, characteristic meaty umami flavor.

This product originated in the food industry as a practical solution to facilitate the quick and uniform preparation of homemade broths without the need to cook bones or meat for hours. Its use is very popular in many cuisines around the world, especially in Latin America, due to its convenience and the potency of flavor it offers.

Properties: Beef broth granules are high in sodium, so it is important to moderate their use to avoid excess salt in preparations. They may also contain monosodium glutamate and other flavor enhancers that intensify the taste of the dish. They are ideal for enriching dishes without significantly increasing volume or texture, providing a deep and authentic flavor.

Regarding their synonyms in Latin American Spanish, beef broth granules are also commonly known as ground beef bouillon cubes, beef broth powder, or simply broth powder. In some countries, they may be called meat granules or concentrated meat broth, but they always refer to the same granulated preparation, ready to be used in the kitchen.
