Are broth cubes as good as store-bought liquid broth?

LOL, msmofet, as much as I wanted to toss them - their expense saved them. Gave them to my DIL.
I like a cube of chicken flavour in with my rice cooker. (yes, I dissolve it first) If I've forgotten one I use the Knorr concentrate (liquid bottle). Either chicken, beef or even the vegetable one - depends on what the main meal is going to be.
taxy, the tiny square of paper used to wrap the cubes, when collecting them all to compare to the glass/metal jars, plastic bottles, plasticized cartons, I think comes out more of a winner just for sheer quantities. IMHO (but not falling down that rabbit hole researching it).

Forgot to mention. When I use boxed/canned broths I often add a dab or two of BTB to boost the flavor.

Bouillon cubes usually have a lot of salt, artificial additives, and preservatives, while liquid broth contains more nutrients like vitamins and minerals from the ingredients.
