i had a friend who find finding it tough going. Doesn't drive, has difficulty walking and no money for food. I'm 4 hrs away so i couldn't drop something off. i ordered a box of staples like bean, rice, herbs, spices and jars off this bouillon. She called raving about this product. She had never used a soup base before. She said she even enjoyed a cup of hot bouillon by itself when she wasn't up to cooking so I'd say you have a happy customer. when she had her health she was a gourmet cook so I'll take her word for it.
