Edward & Sons Low Sodium Garden Veggie Bouillon Cubes - Organic Vegetable Bouillon, Vegan Broth Cube, Stock Cubes for Soup & Stew - 2.2 Oz, 12 Pack

I love the flavor of this bouillon and use it in soups and also to flavor veggies that I'm steaming or cooking. It is safe for me as a Celiac disease sufferer, and since it is also MSG free and soy free and dairy free and egg free, I can use it when I cook for my other friends and family members with food intolerance/allergy issues. This is the perfect substitution in any recipe that calls for vegetable bouillon, and in a pinch I can mix it with water to make a stock for recipes that call for vegetable stock. Saves pantry space. ;-) One of the most challenging aspects of going gluten free is figuring out which of the old favorite foods can be converted to a gluten free version that tastes like the old thing. This product makes that possible. LOVE this to use in recipes. I have it on Subscribe & Save to keep my pantry stocked for use in RECIPES to replace Knorr bouillon, a completely even substitution, gluten free (GF), safe for Celiac Disease sufferers.

The doc says to watch the sodium, and this bouillon enables me to do that, while enjoying the flavor of the broth it produces.

If you buy these bouillon cubes thinking they will be like the salt-filled cubes you buy at any grocery store, think again. The texture is different. Solubility is different. Taste is different. First let's discuss texture. The texture of these cubes is a lot like firm butter that was just taken out of the fridge. You can cut it like butter, so dividing is not a problem the way it is with salty, powdery cubes. It does tend to stick to the foil wrapper, but comes off easily using a knife, fork, or even spoon. We will go on to solubility. When you put these into hot water or put them in cold water then heat in the microwave, they do not break down as quickly as you might be accustomed to. The pieces that come apart in the water need to be stirred momentarily and pressed against the side of the container with a spoon. This does not take more than a minute. The taste is different, too. It has an inviting aroma and tastes like actual vegetable broth. There is no overpowering salty taste, and these can be used to make a stronger tasting liquid than high-sodium cubes. This bouillon makes a great gravy when you use the whole cube in 1-1/2 cups boiling water. Stir 3 tbsp of corn starch into 1/4 cup cold water. Stir cold cornstarch water into boiling liquid till thickened. Add a little pepper and serve. I've also used it to flavor soy based textured vegetable protein (TVP) for use in meatless meatloaf and other dishes. I just use it in place of the boiling water. I like to use a bit stronger broth for that purpose. I give this product very high marks. Buy with confidence. Whether you are vegetarian or not, whether you are salt-restricted or not, this bouillon does not disappoint.

Delicious.

This just arrived. We've been getting it at a local health food store and it's so good we bought the large pack, It's not salty, really tastes low sodium, and makes excellent veggie soup. Big fan.

Great taste and low sodium, love it!

Add a little bit of lemon/lime juice and it rivals regular salted broth. It's delicious, but underwhelming if you don't season/dress it with something else. You get a LOT for the price. Very worth it.

Edward & Sons Low Sodium Veggie Bouillon is one of the best that I have tried. There are actual tiny bits of veggies in the cubes--obviously not enough to prevent you from adding your own. When I cook rice, I love to toss either one or two of these cubes into the rice cooker. One correction to the Nutritional Information posted on the product page: The actual sodium content is 135 mg and not 920 as indicated on the product page. This is a huge difference. 05/31/2011 Update: I am saddened to say that I will not be purchasing these bouillon cubes from Amazon. I don't know if it was a fluke but the last box that I purchased came complete with moths. Unfortunately, I discovered this after it was too late to return the package. It may be because a "case" of these will last me for nearly a year. That said, if I can find them at a local grocery store, I will buy individual packages. 04/13/2013 Update: I've gone back to using the Edward & Sons bouillons through Amazon. I can't find them locally and, frankly, the bullions that I can find are pretty insipid. 02/15/2014 Update: I have yet to find another moth in any of the Edwards & Sons bouillons but keeping moths from my kitchen has been an exercise in fanaticism for me. I've stopped buying bulk items which, I suspect, was the culprit.
