Maybe I had my expectations set too high after reading the other reviewers. This is nothing like homemade beef broth. Yes, it's better than bullion, and it avoids the "tinny" taste that canned broths tend to have. However, it still has a hard-to-describe strange flavor, not the rich beefy taste others described. Plus, it's very very salty. It's hard to make a good sauce or soup from it because of the amount of salt.According to the package, a serving is 2 teaspoons reconstituted to 1 cup, which has 770 mg of sodium. However, this is very misleading. The box has 7 pouches, which is supposedly enough to make 12 cups. However, if you only use 2 teaspoons per cup, you get a weak and flavorless broth. This is why the package instructions (as opposed to the nutritional information panel) tell you that to make one cup of broth, you should add a whole pouch. So, rather than using the 2 teaspoon "serving," you're really using about 3 1/2 teaspoons! So, if you follow directions a box makes only 7 cups, and you're getting 1,320 mg of sodium per cup. Pucker up!
It's not terrible, but it's nothing like the quality of a good boxed chicken broth. I'm certainly not going to reorder it once I run out; I'd rather just avoid recipes that require beef broth.
