Low or no salt stock cubes?

WhiteHorse

I've had to give up on my favourite stock cubes - Kallo - as they now seem to consist of very little but salt.

Does anyone know of bouillon cubes (or in a jar for that matter), that have very little or no salt at all?

i only know of low salt oxo cubes - which come with added MSG which puts some people off.

Kallo appear to do 'Very Low Salt' versions, for example:

I assume they're not the ones you find too salty?

Health stores do a purple tub of low-salt 'bouillon' powder, which is a bit more controllable than cubes.

Marmite dissolved in boiling water?

Marmite is very salty too. Even the Kallo low-salt cubes seem to be saltier than they were.

*sigh* Back to making my own stock the old fashioned way.

That purple one pictured above is made by Marigold, you can get it in Sainsburys. It's very good. No MSG either.

I actually find that with the regular version in the green tub, the flavour is so strong that I only need to use about a third as much as reccomended on the tub, so that's only a third of the salt! I wouldn't use any other stock now.
