THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BONE BROTH AND STOCK CUBES
Flavour
Thanks to its long cooking time and organic locally sourced ingredients, stock cubes don’t even come close to the flavour profile that our bone broth provides.
Stock cubes are usually made from dehydrated meat, vegetables and salt, hence why their flavour can sometimes be overpowering in some dishes. Bone broth however has a subtle and fresh taste that can help to elevate dishes, rather than overpower them.
Salt
Stock cubes are often packed to the brim with salt and can leave your mouth feeling more than a little dry. When you cook with stock cubes you’ll likely be adding an extra 5g of salt per cube into your dish.
Bone broth however is much lower in salt content and our own bone broth contains only 1.6g for every 324g of product - that’s a massive difference.
Nutrition
This is another area that bone broth can proudly reign champion in. Due to stock cubes are created, they contain little to no nutritional value whatsoever.
Throughout the cooking process the meat and vegetables are often dehydrated in a way that means any minerals or nutrients are lost, leaving you with a salty and concentrated cube of stock. This is far from the case for bone broth though.
Long ingredient lists
Another blow for the simple stock cube is that it often contains a plethora of ingredients on top of what’s really necessary. Additives, flavour enhancers and palm oil often feature very high on the ingredient list for the majority of stock cubes that can be found in supermarkets. Stock cubes can also be a no-go for those who are gluten intolerant as they can even contain ingredients like wheat, maize starch and yeast extract.
Our bone broth however has a short and sweet ingredient list that includes bones, vegetables, apple cider vinegar, sea salt and that’s it! No nasties or unnecessary ingredients to be found here.
