Stock gel is a concentrated stock product used to make liquid stock or add flavour during cooking. The form described includes stock pots, stock melts and squeezy tubes, before dilution. Per 100g, it provides 28g of carbohydrate, 6.7g of protein, 3.6g of fat and 16g of salt.
Its high salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Adding water lowers the salt concentration, but does not change the total amount of salt in the stock gel used. The amount added to a dish therefore affects its contribution to salt intake. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
