Of course I held off using any salt until the end and it still didn't need any additional sodium. Also, the Maggi Sauce was salty so I did quite well not grabbing the salt shaker. |

It's much better than other, similar products--even Knorr, which is better than everything else. Also, if you ever have to cook for people who must not consume wheat, it is one of the few that doesn't contain yeast products of some kind. |

I used the Knorr veg-veg boullion cubes exclusively for many years. Until the day that I found out that "yeast extract" eas actually MSG. Now, I really don't want to be adding that crap to my food, so I've quit Knorr completely. It's back to the scraps from my veggies in a freezer bag, then simmered into soup stock. Or else, I buy the 32-oz asceptic packages of Kitchen Basics stock. Its got REALLY good flavor and it's not nearly as salty as BTB. But it's pricey to buy the premade boxes rather than a cube or base, that's for sure. I only use it in stuff like my pilafs or tortellini en brodo, where the broth flavor is a primary flavor to the recipe. |

Oddly enough, I just bought some of the Kitchen Basics vegetable stock for the first time last night, because I had to make a vegetarian soup and needed to save time. (I also wanted wheat-free.) It certainly isn't salty, but is is sweet. Naturally so, I gather--at least, it tastes real. Vegetable stocks, even this one, don't really do it for me, though. |

I agree with pretty much everybody so far. I like BTB much better than bullion cubes. Did some pasta en brodo yesterday with some frozen stock that I made from a Costco roast chicken. After adding a bit of hot water, it was a bit flat and a couple of pea-sized globs of BTB along with some fresh parsley brought it around nicely. Hasta, Curt Nelson |

I've been using the beef, chicken and vegetable for a couple of years now. I prefer it to other brands, but I have trouble finding it. It's a dollar more expensive than other labels, so some of my local shops have stopped carrying it, or will only carry the unusual flavors like mushroom and lobster. Don't know about the protein levels, but I think the flavor is stronger than other bases, certainly better than ordinary bullion cubes. Dawn |

And now it comes in a lot more flavors, like mushroom, ham, clam, chili, lobster, plus organic versions... http://www.superiortouch.com/btb.htm --Blair |

If you accept their analysis, there is less sodium in the "regular" than most canned stocks. I've experimented with some of the others, but I buy the "R C Chicken Base" which is is the "Chicken Redi-Base" in a larger jar. Back to the original post: I'm sure Better then Bullion is better than a bullion cube. So are the Redibase bases. For chicken I'd say Redibase is as good as canned chicken stock. IMO. -- Dave S |

Hmm, will have to give that a try, I've been reasonably satisfied with BTB but the saltiness of these products is always an issue. TammyM |

The 1 lb jar makes 5 gallons of stock. The first thing on the ingredient list is chicken meat. That's the shocker...Most comercial stocks don't even have any chicken mentioned as a ingredient, in fact most are vegan compatible.. |

But I was more keen on trying the others. I seem to remember someone else recommending Minors brand (someone whose opinion I respected but now can't remember!) Prob is, I've never seen Minors or Tones anywhere here. So I'd have to order online. TammyM |

Minors I'm not familiar with. I've used Minors -- I'll check the ingredients list tomorrow. I thought the chicken was ok, didn't like the beef... That's why I wondered about reddibase. ...fred |
