Knorr chicken bouillon is not bad for you in moderation but it does contain lots of sodium, salt and other non healthy ingredients.

But it's basically chicken stock compressed down to cubes and powder.

In moderation it's okay to eat Knorr chicken bouillon or even mix it with some hot water to make a nice hot Knorr chicken bouillon drink when you have a cold or flu or just whenever you want to drink it.

A healthier alternative to Knorr chicken bouillon is Better Than Bouillon.

Better Than Bouillon is healthier than other Bouillon and bouillon cubes as Better Than Bouillon contains a 1/3 less salt and sodium than regular bouillon does.

The better than bouillon concentrated bases are made from meat, poultry, seafood and vegetables and they contain no added MSG, low or no fat, lower sodium which makes it healthy when compared to regular bouillon.

1 tablespoon of bouillon granules equals to 1 bouillon cube.

There is 1 bouillon cube in 1 tablespoon of bouillon granules.

1 bouillon cube equals 1 tablespoon of bouillon granules and 2 bouillon cubes equal 2 tablespoons of bouillon granules.

There is some chicken in chicken bouillon but not actually the chicken meat.

Instead the chicken bouillon contains chicken fat and chicken protein which gives the chicken bouillon the chicken flavor.

Chicken Bouillon is made from things such as dehydrated vegetables, meat stock, a small portion of fat, MSG, salt, and seasonings, shaped into a small cube.

So the chicken bouillon does contain some chicken but mostly the fat and some chicken meat stock and seasonings to make it taste like chicken.
