Product Details
Savory Choice makes its beef broth as a liquid concentrate rather than a dry cube or granule. Stir one of the forty-five stick packs into a cup of hot water and you have a cup of beef broth, which puts around eleven quarts of broth in a box the size of a paperback.
Because it starts out liquid, it disperses the moment it hits hot water, and it can also be squeezed straight into a hot pan with no water at all. That makes it handy for deglazing, loosening a gravy that has gone tight, wetting the rice in a risotto, building a marinade, or tucking a few sticks into a pack for cooking away from a kitchen.
This is the reduced sodium version of the concentrate rather than the standard one. The flavour reads closer to simmered stock than to seasoning powder, so it holds up in dishes where the broth is the liquid rather than a background note.

Questions About This Product
The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.
How much broth does one Savory Choice packet make?
One 9.6 gram stick plus 1 cup of hot water makes 8 ounces of beef broth. Each stick holds roughly two teaspoons of liquid concentrate, so it disperses almost immediately without long stirring. For a lighter cup, the same packet stretches comfortably into 10 ounces of water.
How many cups of broth does the 45 packet box make?
Forty-five sticks make about 45 cups, which is roughly 11 quarts or just under 3 gallons of prepared broth. Four packets cover the quart of beef broth most stews, gravies and braises call for. The full box takes up less shelf space than a single quart carton.
How much sodium is in one packet?
Each packet lists 360 mg of sodium for the prepared cup. That is a label figure for the reduced sodium line specifically. If you are working to a particular sodium target, your doctor or a registered dietitian is the right person to help you set it.
How much lower in sodium is this than the original Savory Choice concentrate?
Savory Choice describes this line as carrying about 40 percent less sodium than its original broth concentrates, which land closer to the 640 to 770 mg range per prepared cup across the brand's regular products. The reduced sodium sticks come in at 360 mg per cup. The dilution is identical between the two, so the difference is in the formulation rather than in how you use it.
What is the first ingredient in the beef concentrate?
Beef stock is listed first, followed by maltodextrin, natural flavor, sugar, beef fat, salt, yeast extract and xanthan gum. Salt sits well down that list rather than at the top, which is the detail sodium-conscious cooks usually go looking for. Leading with beef stock is also why the prepared cup reads meatier than a dry bouillon dissolved in water.
How is a liquid concentrate stick different from a bouillon cube or granules?
The concentrate is already liquid, so it disperses on contact and can go straight into a hot pan without dissolving first. Dry cubes and granules have to break down fully in boiling water and often lead with salt or starch. The liquid format also carries beef fat, which is where a lot of the aroma lives and which is hard to hold in a dry cube.
Can I squeeze a packet straight into a dish without adding water?
Yes. The brand specifically calls out adding it right from the packet into soups, stews, gravies and marinades, and cooks use it that way to deepen a pan sauce, a chili or a pot of beans without thinning the dish. Because a stick equals a full cup of broth in flavor, start with one and taste before adding a second.
How does it compare to canned or carton beef broth?
At 360 mg of sodium per prepared cup, it sits below most standard cartons, which commonly run in the 500 to 900 mg range depending on brand and whether the label says reduced sodium. The bigger practical differences are storage and control: the sticks are shelf stable and single-serve, so you make exactly the amount you need instead of opening a quart for one cup. You can also make it stronger or weaker than a carton allows by changing the water.
How many packets replace a quart of beef broth or a 14.5 ounce can?
Four packets and 4 cups of hot water give you a quart. A 14.5 ounce can is close to 1.75 cups, so two packets in about 14 to 15 ounces of hot water is the practical stand-in. Round up to two packets in 2 cups if the recipe has room for slightly more liquid.
Can I use half a packet, or double up for a stronger broth?
Both work. Half a stick in a cup gives a lighter broth for sipping or for thinning a sauce, and two sticks in one cup produce a concentrated beef base for gravies and reductions, with sodium scaling to about 720 mg for that cup. The sticks are sized for one cup and are not resealable, so plan to use a whole one or split it into two portions at once.
Does it need hot water, or will it mix into a cold liquid?
Hot water is the intended method and gives the fastest, cleanest dispersion. Because the concentrate is a liquid rather than granules, it will still blend into a cool liquid with enough stirring, though the beef fat can separate and sit on the surface. For cold applications, mix the stick with a few tablespoons of hot water first, then chill it before combining.
