Stock cubes, chicken, made up with water

Chicken stock made from a stock cube dissolved in water is a liquid used as a base for soups, sauces and other dishes. In the prepared form described here, it consists mainly of water and provides salt, with small amounts of fat and protein. Per 100g, it contains 97g of water, 1.4g of salt, 0.5g of fat and 0.5g of protein.

The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as stock contributes salt to the dish in which it is used. Its concentration depends on how much water is added, so these values apply to the preparation described rather than to an undiluted cube. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
