Description

Low-sodium bouillon cube is a dehydrated broth concentrate used to add flavor to various culinary preparations, such as soups, stews, rice dishes, and sauces. It is characterized by containing a lower amount of salt, making it ideal for those who wish to reduce their sodium intake without sacrificing flavor.

This ingredient originates from the tradition of preserving and concentrating homemade broths to facilitate their use and storage. Nowadays, low-sodium bouillon cubes are a practical and quick option in the kitchen, made with natural ingredients like vegetables, spices, and proteins, although commercial versions may contain preservatives and flavor enhancers.

The main properties of this cube lie in its ability to intensify the flavor of dishes with a significant reduction in sodium content, promoting healthier eating and suitability for people with hypertension or low-salt diets.

In different Latin American countries, the low-sodium bouillon cube can also be found under names such as reduced-salt cube, light cube, or simply low-salt cube.
