Rating: - Forget bouillon
I used to depend on the powdered bouillon for cooking--or the little cubes. No more.
For chicken bouillon (or vegetable or beef), I now use this product. "Better than Bouillon" is much richer and has a far more textured and better taste.
Something like this is often called for in recipes. This is so much preferable to the cubes or powder that I would recommend to anyone using those to give it up. There is no comparison.
Even better, of course, is using stock. But for many people, that might not be an option. Short of that, this product does well enough ... Read More
Rating: - Very Good Product
I've been using this product for quite a while now. I order it online because, unfortunately, it isn't available for me to purchase locally. It makes a really rich stock. It's easy to use just the right amount to make what you need. It's a thick paste so it's easy to measure. It's a little difficult to get off the spoon, so measure it with one you can stir in the hot/boiling water with to get off all the paste.
This is by far the best boullion/stock product I've ever used. It tastes better than the dry cubes, dry powders and canned/packaged stock products. There is less fat swimming ... Read More
Rating: - I'll never buy canned broth again
These products are great to have on hand, and I won't let myself run out. (I'm ordering some right now) I've used the chicken and beef bases, and both are so much tastier than boullion or other powdered products. Unlike cubes, this is a paste and disolves in water immediately, with a texture that's less watery than regular broth. They need to be refrigerated once opened, but they take up hardly any space. Definitely worth a try.
Rating: - Savory Gravy Enhancer
If you love buying rotisserie chicken you can layer slices of chicken on fresh bread, then dip the sandwiches in a delicious homemade chicken gravy. The flavor of the gravy can be greatly enhanced by using this stock base. This chicken base also contains turmeric and soy protein.
Better Than Bouillon is a stock paste or more like a chicken base than a bouillon cube. Dry bouillon cubes are famous for being overly salty and that is why chicken base is a much healthier, not to mention, tasty alternative.

Rating: - You will never use dehydrated bouillon again!
I discovered this product about a year ago and have not used dehydrated boullion since. It's so convenient to make -- just boil the amount of water you need and add the appropriate amount of base. It blends quickly too. No more undissolved bouillon pebbles in the bottom of the broth!
We're a family of 2 so I was worried that they'd go bad on me before I had a chance to use it all, but I've had open jars stored in the fridge for a few months at a time and have never had a problem. I've also purchased the beef base and am just as pleased. Wonderful products!
