Can anyone recommend the healthiest stock (powder or cubes)?

Hi All


At the moment I make a pasta lunch every morning in a instapot (pressure cooker kind of thing) and add a stock cube for flavouring, however the cubes I use feel a bit oily (they have palm oil), can anyone recommend alternative cubes or powders which are healthier?


I know I can make my own but at the moment just trying to find the healthiest ready made options available as its quite convenient to use in the morning before work, dont want to make own and freeze etc.



Thanks

Most stock cubes are very high in salt. When weaning my first child, I discovered Kallo very low salt stock cubes.

The cheap shops all seem to have Dewhurst stock cubes in I can't seem to find any sign of beef on the ingredients list or chicken in the chicken ones.

This is lovely OP - I mainly use it for flavouring rice rather than cooking in plain water, but make soup also hot drinks https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002E2HTLU/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_9?smid=AOS29HD33J2DT&psc=1

Yes - another vote for the Marigold low salt version. It's available in most supermarkets, but not always the organic version. I costed it once and it works out cheaper than a lot of the branded stock cubes - and you can also adjust the strength to suit your taste

Kallo low salt organic stock cubes or the Marigold low salt bouillon. Not all supermarkets stock the low salt Kallo cubes though.
