I have these on subscription so I never run out. The flavor is fantastic, and the packaging makes them convenient to use often. They don't contain hormones or antibiotics which makes them much better than canned broth from the grocery store. They don't have to be refrigerated until they're opened, but they're packaged in 8 oz. containers so I rarely use less than a whole one. They're an outstanding base for soups, dumplings, gravies and sauces.
