CatsCube Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I only just discoved while browsing the back of a packet of oxo cubes yesterday that they contain MSG. I really would like to stop using them but dont know what to use instead. I have limited freezer space so cant really go making big batches of stock. I normally just use it to help flavour things like mince when doing spag bol, and sprinking over roasts etc. What else can I use instead?

Louise Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Have you tried just using soy sauce Mind you it may have MSG in it too I will have to look now My dad is a pain for refusing to eat things that don't look right (in his opinion ) so when making stews etc if they aren't quite brown enough I stick a glug of sauce in and he never notices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I use Kallo cubes for stock as they are gluten free, they are msg free too Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 i got some "organic prime beef premium stock cubes" stock cubes from Asda the other day, they are made by "Balance Foods" and have no MSG in them. They were reduced from 50p to 25p too so i got 2 packets they may not be on the stock cube shelf, check the organic shelf in your supermarket.

ali-s Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Susan where do you get your organic cubes from? I have looked in Tesco but couldn't find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 ali - Tesco should have Kallo cubes as a basic line - they will be in the organic section, rather than in with the stock cubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Ali I bought them in Tesco as Chookiehen said but this last lot I bought in the Spey Larder in Aberlour - its a fantastic deli and has all things special. I Love(hate) going in there as I spend so much on all sorts - special teas, australian liquorice, venison and cranberry sausages etc etc. Did a Tesco online search and they are there including the vegetable ones Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Balance Free Range Chicken Stock Cubes are good. Yhey are very concentrated. I find I only have to use half a cube. They also do Vegetable Stock Cubes which are very good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
