Summary: NOT msg free! 2008-08-07
Comment: I was so excited to find this product. I have used the beef and chicken. Both have very nice flavor but can be too salty if you use too much. My main reason for buying these was because they were suppose to be MSG free. Silly me, I saw msg free on the label and didn't even pay attention to the ingredients. Two of the ingredients are just another name for MSG! Autolyzed yeast and Hydrolyzed protein. What a bummer. I have major health issues and try to avoid msg at all costs. I will not be purchasing these again. In fact the jars I have in the house now will be tossed. It isn't worth the health issues! I would like to find a bouillon product that doesn't contain any hidden msg.

Summary: Too salty 2007-12-27
Comment: Typical of the US food industry, they have to pack the product full of salt. By the time you you get the saltiness diluted out all the flavor is diluted out.

Summary: Way too salty 2007-10-31
Comment: This may be better than a bouillon cube, but it's still not great. This Better Than Bouillon isn't absolutely terrible for straight stock but if you try to then use that stock to make sauces or demi-glazes, instead of getting a richer flavor, ugh, they just get saltier and saltier and saltier as the reduction occurs. Do yourself a favor and pay a little more for Minor's.

Summary: Some beef flavor, tons of salt 2007-03-26
Comment:
Since Amazon didn't post the nutritional value of this product, here it is, straight from the back of the label:
Serving size - one teaspoon (6 gm):
Calories - 10
Total fat - 0.5 gm
Sodium - 710 mg
Total carbohydrate - 1 gm
Protein - 1 gm
The numbers do not begin to give you an idea of just how salty this stuff is! If you put a small sample in your mouth, you can feel and taste the individual salt grains.
I looked on the back of a can of Morton salt - 1.5 gm of Morton iodized salt has 590 mg of Sodium, which comes down to 393.33 mg of Sodium per 1 gm of table salt.
Which means that this "Better than Bouillon" Beef flavor has 1.8 gm of table salt per 6 gm (teaspoon) serving size, which means that SALT is the single largest ingredient in this product.
The beef flavor is pretty decent, but it is just overwhelmed by the salt.
Sorry, but for people that can't take or don't like so much salt in their diet, this stuff won't work.
