This blends very easily in cold water, making it ideal for use in gravy to add a little "oomph" to stretch those pan drippings!
I like that I can keep it in the cupboard, and it's not full of fat like so many other bouillon products.
I don't give this a 5, though, because the title is misleading. There is no beef at all in this broth powder. It is a vegan product (per label), and contains no MSG.

This is not real beef broth, It is vegan. (the label says so)
I TBS (table spoon) contains 250 mg Sodium ! although beef bouillon is probably the same.
Maltodextrin is listed twice, as the first ingredient and as the fourth. maybe a typo?
It doesn't say what TYPE of maltodextrin (wheat,rye,oat,rice) so it probably contains GLUTEN.
Also contains SOY. Soy is a poor substitute for beef.
Contains Hydrolyzed Plant Protein! which contains MSG! even tho the label says no MSG!
Not a bad price for cheep soy broth tho, If you don't mind MSG.
If they would label the type of maltodextrin and drop the Hydrolyzed Plant Protein then it would be a good (but cheep)product. As it is I cant tell if I'm allergic to the malto or not, and I don't like MSG. I wont be buying this again.

To be perfectly honest I can get MSG laden Mexican bouillon at Walmart for 65 cents!
In four different flavors! Beef,Chicken,Ham,Chicken and Tomato!

This is excellent bullion at a bargain price. Since its a powder you can much more easily make an accurate measurement of how much you want to add to your stock. And as a powder, it contains slightly less sodium than the familiar cubed bullion. A little of this powder goes a long ways for it is so rich. So this 8 oz. package ends up being a bargain for it will last most of us through several winters. I highly recommend it. It has helped me make the best vegetable beef soup in the United States.

I was really impressed with the taste of this after I made a cup of broth just to try it. I don't actively look for vegan products, but was wonderfully surprised at how this tasted like bouillon that is non-vegan, perhaps better than some I've tried! I know I'll find more uses for it and it will be very handy when a person is ill and needs to make sure they get enough liquids in their system since this is so easy to use and so tasty as well!

To get any flavor at all, this product is as salty as brine. So was the chicken broth. I'll probably throw both bags out.

I was surprised to find out this was vegan. But it make for a great addition to any meat sauce or gravy. I have even added a bit to rubs for things like brisket or anything that I want to taste meaty.
