Broths or stocks have become ubiquitous in homestyle cooking, but many of us want to limit fat and sodium. Fat-free broths such as this one are widely available, thank goodness (and you can make almost any broth fat-free yourself, just by chilling it, removing the top of the container, and discarding the fat which will have risen to the top).
But it's pretty hard to find decent low-sodium broths, partly because it's cheaper for food companies to add salt than to flavor their product any other way. Swanson's used to have fat-free, sodium-free broths that I swore by, but I literally can't find them anymore.
This is the next best thing. Both this and the chicken version let you drastically cut back on the salt in what is, let's face it, the most voluminous ingredient in most of your cooking.
Since studies suggest that average Americans eat at least twice the safe amount of sodium each day, and since high sodium intake is associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and other health issues, these 50%-reduced-sodium broths can make a big difference for all of us. Way to go!! Now, if only we could get the sodium free versions??!! :)

My favorite, sodium-free, organic beef broth only comes in cans so I switched back to Swanson's. What a mistake. First of all, this brand has 440mg of sodium per cup (compared to 130mg for the organic brand) but it still has lots of extra ingredients to make up for the the 50% sodium that's removed. I had a hard time finding a list of ingredients before I purchased so I'll make it easy for you.
Ingredients: Beef Stock.
Contains less than 2% of the following: Yeast Extract, MSG, Caramel Color, Maltodextrin, Glycerine, Onion Juice Concentrate, Beef Extract, Flavoring, Gum Arabic, Disodium Inosinate, Sodium Guanylate, Triglycerides, Vegetable Oil, Xanthan Gum, Soy Lecithin.
I never thought I'd say MSG WASN'T the worst thing about a food product, but in this case it's not. This broth is terribly watered down and the dominate taste is CARAMEL, not beef. I don't remember having this problem with Swanson's broth several years ago. All I can suggest is that you taste a plain, heated cup of this stuff before you buy a dozen and put it in your cooking. I found it gives an odd, dark and bitter taste to my dishes. Bon Appetit!

I'm going on a camping trip and wanted to have enough broth with me for soup-making on the trip. This is perfect. It lasts well in a frig, and the taste is good. There are brands that have more flavor, but I think the low salt is the reason. The pour caps on the ones I got come off -- don't know why. That's never happened when I buy it in the stores, but it's a minor problem when considering the cost.
