What it is
This is a concentrated granulated bouillon made from chicken. It is designed to provide a savory chicken flavor to dishes. The granules dissolve easily in hot liquids, making it a convenient way to add depth and richness to various recipes. It comes in a resealable container for easy storage and use.

To use, dissolve the desired amount of granulated bouillon in hot water or other cooking liquids. The intensity of the flavor can be adjusted by using more or less bouillon. It can be added directly to soups, stews, and sauces during cooking to build a savory chicken foundation. It is also useful for creating flavorful cooking liquids for grains like rice or quinoa, or for deglazing pans to create a quick pan sauce.

How to keep the rest
Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness. Ensure no moisture enters the container, as this can cause the granules to clump. Properly stored, it will retain its flavor for an extended period.
