Knorr cubes

[saintdomingo]

Are the above still classed as heavily over salted and having too much MSG.

They make the homemade veg soup tasty but I remember them copping for a lot of flack not too many years ago.

Anyone know.?

They do seem to be laden with salt and chemicals, not sure whether they now contain MSG. 

 

I think you do need to add a limited amount of salt to soups and stews for the taste but I usually use fresh or dried herbs for flavour.

 

Even with a stock cube I don't think it's too bad if using in a soup or stew. One cube in a 4 portion pot would be my limit.

It would seem that the Thai standard stock cubes do contain MSG. However, there is a non MSG version (link below) but not sure whether they are available in Thailand in 7/11 etc. Would be able to source them online though.

 

What are the ingredients in Knorr stock cubes?

 

 

 

One cube can make 500ml of stock. Salt, Flavor Enhancers: Monosodium Glutamate, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate, Fats and Oils, Yeast Extract, Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat, Herbs, Dehydrated Onion, Sugar, Turmeric, Coloring: E150c: Dehydrated Parsley, Dehydrated Celery.

Thanks Keeps, I do try to keep it to one but if I take my eye off the missis for a few seconds she's bunged a second one in.

So basically they are no better than they were a few years ago I thought I'd read differently. Ta very much.
