Bouillon Cube

• Use bouillon cubes to make a quick and easy broth by dissolving one cube in approximately 2 cups of hot water for soups, stews, and sauces when you don't have homemade stock available.
• Crumble bouillon cubes and add them directly to rice or grain dishes while cooking to infuse the grains with a savory flavor, especially when making risotto or pilaf.
• Dissolve a bouillon cube in water and use it to braise meats and vegetables, adding depth and richness to the braising liquid, resulting in more flavorful and tender dishes.
• Incorporate crumbled bouillon cubes into dry rubs for chicken, beef, or pork, enhancing the savory notes and creating a flavorful crust during grilling or roasting.
• Use bouillon cubes as a base for flavorful gravies by dissolving them in water or pan drippings and thickening with flour or cornstarch for a quick and savory sauce.
• Add a small amount of crumbled bouillon cube to vegetable dishes like steamed green beans or sauteed spinach to boost their umami flavor and enhance the overall taste.

Bouillon cubes should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. An airtight container or the original packaging, tightly sealed, will help to prevent them from absorbing moisture and losing their flavor. Stored properly, bouillon cubes can last for an extended period, often well past their expiration date, though flavor intensity may diminish over time. Do not refrigerate or freeze, as this can introduce moisture.
