Bouillon or stock cubes are a wonderful way to add some oomph to an abundance of recipes. Unfortunately, when shopping around for bouillon and stock cubes most of the selections widely available contain animal products such as animal fat, extract or dairy for added flavouring, which makes some of these off limits to both vegetarian and vegans.
In this post we have compared the 7 best plant base stock cubes based on their nutrition. The vegan bouillon cube ranked top of the list and V1 will be the cube which is nutritionally the best overall. A full nutrition table of all vegan seasoning cubes covered in this post can be found below the top list, so you can compare and make your selection based on what you require in your diet.
