Know where to find bouillion cubes with less salt?
The only brand available locally is Wylers that has 30% salt and ruins my soups. gravy and sauces. If not do you know how to dry beef broth?
Answers: I gave up on bouillon cubes years ago because they seemed to be MADE of salt!! I have switched over to using liquids like Bovril or Knorr (beef or chicken varieties) and they have a much better taste.
Is there a reason you want to use a dried form? After all, you are only going to add water or liquid to use it, right?
If you insist on a powder form, there is a beef gravy made by, I think French's that has a nice beef flavor with a tad less salt that you might want to try, if it is still available.
Of course, some of the more talented chefs will suggest making your own beef or chicken stock and freezing it, which ALWAYS tastes better. You could even freeze it in an ice cube tray and take out the amount of frozen "cubes" you need for your sauces, gravies and soups.
Good luck! Hope this helps you. Source(s):
I'm a lazy cook! At Kroger's there is a brand (not sure of the name) with "lower sodium", although it is a bouillon powder and not a cube per se. I used it when I was on a sodium restricted diet for my kidneys and it seemed to work well in all of my recipes. Wyler's makes a reduced sodium instant bouillon, more versatile than a cube. You can find it either near soups or near chicken broth (some stores separate soup and broth for some reason). I doubt you'd be able to dry beef broth on your own. I used to freeze it in ice cube trays. They can measure anywhere from 1 T to 2 T. Pour water into one compartment and then pour it into a Tablespoon. If it matches, great, if it's twice that much, great too. You'll need 16 Tablespoons of broth to equal 1 Cup. Heat it up in a saucepan over medium or microwave it to make it fluid again. Works great with chicken broth, too. If you refrigerate the trays first, you can scrape the fat off the top before freezing them.
