Description

Herb seasoning cubes are small, concentrated flavor blocks designed to enhance the taste of dishes, especially in recipes for meats, soups, and stews. This type of cube combines a mixture of spices and dried herbs, such as parsley, thyme, sage, and chives, which provide a fresh and savory aroma typical of traditional stuffing.

The origin of these cubes lies in the evolution of condiments and concentrated broths, popular in international cuisine to facilitate the preparation of flavorful dishes without the need for multiple fresh ingredients. They are widely used in North American and European cooking, and their formula has been adapted to include herbs reminiscent of homemade stuffing, typical of holidays like Thanksgiving.

In terms of properties, these cubes are practical and provide an intense flavor with low caloric content. However, it is important to moderate their use due to their sodium content. Furthermore, they offer the advantage of being a versatile ingredient that simplifies the preparation of recipes with an aromatic and herbal touch.

In Latin America, these cubes may also be known as herb seasoning cubes, herb flavoring cubes, or simply herb cubes, depending on the country. They are a staple in pantries to quickly and easily enhance the flavor of stews, rice, and broths.
