About Bouillon cubes and granules

Bouillon cubes and granules are concentrated, usually dried seasoning products intended to be dissolved in water or added to cooking. Cubes are compact and solid, while granules are loose and granular; both are commonly salty and savoury. Their ingredients can include salt, flavourings, fats, dried vegetables, and meat or yeast-derived components, depending on the product.

They are sold in multiple flavours and are used to make quick broth or season other foods. Formulations vary widely among brands and varieties, so the name does not specify whether a product is meat-based, vegetable-based, or made with particular additives. This entry refers to the concentrated product, not prepared broth.
