Baby Stock Cubes??

[steph1505]

Does anyone use these?!

I thought stock cubes were unsuitable due to their salt levels and then I seen these!

Does anyone else use them? Or has anyone heard anything about them?!

Thanks x x x

Im supposing you could make up your own stock by boiling a few herbs, a carrot, potato and other veg ifywim? I make my own stock in general and dont put salt in and just boil 'leftovers' from when i cook, I keep it all in the freezer til i need to make stock, its stuff like the odd chunk of potato or carrot, celery, a garlic or 2, ginger, broccoli stalk, honestly the list goes on!

I bought some of the Boots baby stock cubes which we've used in our dinners as Aisling eats the same as us. I bought 4 boxes at once and wish I hadn't - they're the most tasteless things ever, no point in them at all!

Yea I heard of these. You can buy them from Boots, the normal ones have too much salt.

you can buy low salt stock in the special dietary needs bit at the supermarket. Its maybe not as low salt as baby stock but see Lu's comments. I have to admit i sometimes use normal strength stock but dilute alot more. Sometimes i think salt is the bane of my life when it comes to feeding baby!!

I use the Boots ones when I make cassaroles.

We use the Boots one but i have just noticed that Heinz have started to make them too and you can buy them in the supermarket

We use these too but agree that they are tasteless. O have started taking Emma's portions out and then adding regular stock cubes to ours. I guess the solution is to make my own stock though.

I use these ones for Doms food: https://kallofoods.com/kallo/produc.../organic-very-low-salt-vegetable-stock-cubes/

You can get them from Sainsburys, or Holland and Barret health food stores (not sure about other supermarkets though). They do have a little bit more salt than the boots ones but im guessing they are still ok to use, and they make the food taste lovely! I have used the boots ones and they taste of nothing, I may as well use water!

Bluetomato, that's what I've got, too, and I agree, they actually make the food taste ok (and I am a bit of a salt junkie!). I made a cottage pie yesterday and used one in the mince and it was good, and only 0.4g salt in the entire dish, which made enough to serve 4 adults and 2 babies. Perfectly acceptable to me.
