Have you hear of
Swanson Flavor Boost? It was on the top shelf, on clearance today - which surprised me because I'd never seen it before. I bought the Vegetable flavored Flavor Boost, but I haven't tried it yet. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

You're addicted to me. Admit it! I know it and everyone else does too - because you respond to me even though you claim to have me in your kill file. You are so eager to respond that you can't wait and pretend that I'm in your kill file.

I treat it like 'Sazon' -- that stuff that "makes things taste better"-- Flavor is salty, but there is some umami in there. Because it is liquid it mixes well at the last minute. Because it is in individual packets the last packet should taste just like the first one.[and it is ridiculously expensive.] Ingredients- tomato puree, salt, vegetables, sugar-- other stuff. It is interesting that they say to use 2 packets on a pound of vegetables-- then list the serving size as 1 packet. In that one packet you get 2g sugar, 4g carbs, and 770mg sodium. It works to save a broth or dish that didn't quite 'get there'-- My box is lasting a very-very-long time. Jim |

I can certainly tell the difference between the beef one and the chicken one. I use it - sparingly, along with broth - for sauces and gravies, if I need some extra added "oomph." Better than Bouillon Beef is great to mix with Johnny's French Dip base and beef broth, for French Dip sandwiches, if you don't have enough juice from the meat. You just use it as a small addition, not as the sole flavoring device. N. |

I've used about half the chicken and not as much beef, but that's over a period of two years... maybe more and I don't use either unless I'm completely out of stock (purchased or home made). They've languished in my refrigerator so long that it's time to toss them and make room for something else. I will never understand why people go on and on about how good they are with they're as crappy tasting as any other bullion. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

That's just silly, ketchup is flavored salt too... so are many sauces I bet you have in your larder... are you saying you never buy salad dressings, prepared mustard, bbq sauce, soy sauce? Even homemade stocks require substantial salt. |
