Stock cubes, vegetable

Vegetable stock cubes are concentrated products used to make stock for soups, sauces and other dishes. The figures here describe the cubes as sold, rather than stock made up with water. Per 100g, they contain 17g of fat, 14g of protein and 42g of salt.

The high salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Adding water reduces the salt concentration but does not change the total amount of salt contributed by the cube. The amount of cube used therefore affects how much salt is added to a dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
