Massel Powder Tub (Pack of 1, SALT REDUCED Chicken)

I held back on writing a review for this for a good three months because my very initial impressions weren't great. I expected to be blown away by this stock, and initially I wasn't.It's only been since I started to incorporate it into more and more of my cooking that I've been able to appreciate the flavour when compared to the bog standard vegetable stock cubes I usually use.It really does produce a better flavour. Most vegetable stock cubes seem to be overwhelming in either their herbiness or their celery flavours. This stock is just so well balanced and it adds a great depth to dishes.I really can't tell you whether it really does taste beefy because I haven't eaten beef for nearly thirty years - and I don't think I'd be too keen on this stock if it had some kind of (to me) alien meaty flavour. But I can tell you that it does take my cooking to a higher level. Seitan tastes amazing with a spoon of this added into the recipe. It 'tasties up' stir fry amazingly well. And adds a lovely dimension to chilli and other dishes.A small tub does go a long way, so even though it seems expensive, I've used it an awful lot and I yet still have a little bit left. It's probably time to reorder now though, which means I really do like it!I'm contemplating trying the 'chicken' flavour now.

Excellent, less sodium, great taste, especially in soups

This was easy to use, gluten free and vegan. The taste reminds me of T bone steak crisps that I used to love many years ago. I got this product after a stomach bug, not the flavour I was expecting but okay anyway. I'd probably buy again, but I did need heaps more than the measure suggested. But then I do have altered taste. And altered sense of smell.

GOOD FOR MAKING A GOOD STOCK FOR DIFFERENT MEALS

Love using this product to give an authentic flavour to vegan 'chicken' dishes. Expensive, but the tub lasts a long time if used occasionally. Trying the beef flavour next

Salty but sufficiently flavoured to mock chicken - ish

Great product I use this all the time. So tasty in gravy, Chilli,Spag Bol etc.

If you're following a FODMAP restricted diet due to onion and garlic intolerance - then this is the stock for you! We've been using this for years now and it has a great taste and makes a good substitute. Also handy that you can buy it in bulk like this.
