BOUILLON CUBES NOT CON
CENTRATED MEAT ES
SENCE.
Home-Made Broth More Nutri
tious and Economical Than
the Commercial Meat
Extracts.
Washington, D- C-, Dec. 12—
The belief of many people that
bouillon cubes are concenti’ated
meat essence and of high nutri
tive value, has been shattered
by a recently issued bulletin of
the Department of Agriculture
which says, that while they are
valuable stimulants or flavoring
agents they have little or no
real food value and are relative
ly expensive in comparison with
home-made broths and soups.
This bulletin (No. 27) compares
the contents and food value of
cubes with meat extracts and
home-made preparations of
meat.

illon cubes, according to this bul
letin, consist of from one-half o
three-fourths table salt. As
they range in price from 10 to
20 cents an ounce, purchasers of
these cubes are buying salt at
a high price.
The cubes do contain a small
amount of protein (muscle
building material) in addition to
their stimulating properties,
and the makers of most of the
cubes make no advertised claim
that they are concentrated beef
broth or essence- However, |
many housewives believe that j
they are and that they possess ;
high nutritive value, especially
for invalids. This is not the
case. The fact that the cubes
sell for from 1 to 2 cents each,
and each cube makes a cup of
broth, misleads the housewife
into believing that she is se
curing meat extract cheaply,
when really she is buying it in
an expensive form.
According to analyses of these
cubes, besides the common salt
which constitutes from 49 to
72 per cent of the total weight
the amount of meat extract
i ranges from 8 per cent in the
poorest brands to but 28 per cent
in the very best. The third im
portant ingredient is plant or
vegetable extract, which consti
tutes from 3 to 30 per cent- This
plant extract is useful because
i of its flavoring properties, but
1 has slight, if any, nutritive val
:ue.
