How to Make Your Own Bouillon Granules

Bouillon granules, a common staple in many kitchens, are dehydrated vegetables or broth used to flavor soups. Bouillon granules are available for commercial purchase in several different flavors for a relatively low cost. However, bouillon granules sold in stores often have a high salt content. You can make bouillon granules from home using dehydrated vegetables and a small amount of salt for a healthier alternative. Making bouillon granules requires only a few simple kitchen supplies to get started.
