This stuff is delicious

Excellent taste, not too salty. Love it!

I've seen a lot of recipes/cooking videos in the past several years that call for bouillon as a flavor enhancer in soups, sauces, braises and so on. But the first time I saw this was in a paella recipe from a friend in Spain way back when I was in college. Being a fairly cook-from-fresh cook, I ignored her. What can I say? Sometimes I can be one of those people who always knows better. ;)Most of these recipes have been from outside the U.S. However, no reason not to learn from other cooks. It's like people who cringe at making Chinese Sweet and Sour Pork with a ketchup base -- common throughout Asia and with Chinese home cooks here in the U.S. It guarantees great flavor and repeatable results, just as adding something like this to recipes makes them just a bit tastier.I initially ordered this planning to use it for just that purpose. The fact that it was salt-reduced appealed to me even more -- if I want something salty, I'll eat potato chips. When I got my package and sat down to read the label...you do that, don't you?...I was a little unsure when I saw that there was no actual chicken in it. Would it taste weird? Artificial? Then I opened the container and took a sniff. It was hard to believe that there was no chicken involved. I made just a tiny cup of "broth" with it, just to be sure, and it was great. Score!I not only add a pinch or two to amp up the flavor of gravies, soups and sauces, but I've made an onion soup mix with this and dried sliced onions which makes a dip every bit as good as French's original, if less salty. I also add a little to a seasoning mix I use for chicken. That's gotten a lot of compliments from people who can't believe how good my chicken tastes. Griiin. Even if you're not vegetarian/vegan, these bouillon and seasoning granules belong in your kitchen.

Delicious but a bit too salty.

I tried this brand for the first time recently and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Particularly that the sodium was less yet the flavor was more. I make a broth with it, then thicken it with corn starch which makes a gravy. Both ways delicious. Better than all the other chicken bullions I have tried. Great product.

That is natural and healthy for your body!

I love the taste of this! I put a teaspoon in ramen noodles with veggies. Taste so good. I do not use the ramen noodle’s packet instead I use this low sodium

First impressions:I was wondering what the catch was to make it low fodmap. And it's that the serving size of 1/4 tsp, which is required to not go over to make it actually low FODMAP, is tiny and the broth barely tastes like anything. The powder tasted good when I licked it off the measuring spoon. Bummer. I do see now that another reviewer mentioned that you needed at least 2 tsps, which is double the instructions, which is great for them but they apparently aren't following a low FODMAP diet. I think this is a problem on monash's side, not massel, but not telling consumers where the yellow and red light cut offs is for branded premade products (eg not whole foods) makes the system almost useless, including for this product.I'm confused about what the serving size actually is. The American nutrition label says to put 1 "heaping tsp" (which is some BS imo, for a product where the amount used dictates whether it's low FODMAP or not) in 4 cups of water, and the serving size is listed as 1 cup. Which would indicate a serving size of ~1/4 tsp. But the Australian label says the serving size is 1.5 grams.One star is just because anything more than one star doesn't effectively communicate that the product was not satisfactory. It's probably more like 2 stars for me.Extremely expensive, but when you don't have any other options, you take what you can get, I guess.
