Using bouillon cubes or ready-made seasoning can speed up your dinner prep and add a lot of flavor to your cooking. And when you start thinking outside the bouillon box, there's a lot more than beef and chicken bouillon to be found. Commercial dried seasonings have been popular for well over 100 years, and one of the most well-known pioneers of dried seasonings and bouillon is still going strong today. Knorr seasoning and bouillon is used by millions of people in the United States and around the world and there are so many flavors to try.
