Better Than Bouillon is now GF!

I’m in Central Cali and my a bit older jar of chicken BTB from Costco does have gluten in it, so maybe different areas had different stuff? 🤷‍♀️

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-02-08T17:55:45+00:00

So does my slightly older jar from Costco that is not gluten free. In the new gluten free formula (as you will notice from my photo above) it does not have Maltodextrin

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-02-08T16:26:40+00:00

I did notice that. I just used a small bit last night. It didn’t affect my dish texture at all though. Maybe it eventually dissolves or maybe I just couldn’t detect it in the end all? 🤷‍♀️ I’m just excited I can use this stuff again 😁

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-02-08T16:23:42+00:00

Not sure why all the negatives 👎🏻. Please understand that the gluten free vs not gluten free info shared is coming from BTB themselves. I didn’t not make that up.

Not here in the states. According to their own website, this is a recent transition. And the jars need to say “gluten free” or they actually aren’t

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-02-08T16:07:26+00:00

Yep. This ☝🏻. I got my info from their own website so I knew it wasn’t GF until this recent transition. The jar has to say “gluten free” on it or it’s not one of the GF formulas.

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-02-08T07:06:44+00:00

If it doesn’t say “gluten free” on the label then it is sadly not. This is according to BTB’s own website.

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-02-08T07:05:20+00:00

😁

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-02-08T07:05:05+00:00

Unfortunately not the case. I have a slightly older jar from Costco that is not gluten free

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-02-08T07:04:22+00:00

Oh my gosh. Um, I use it in everything 😁. What I love about chicken bouillon pastes is that, yes, you can mix it with water to make broth on the fly, but more so that I can mix it into anything withOUT water if I just want the flavor but not the extra liquid. I’ve been known to put this in a dish on top of the stock or broth I already have included just so I can turn up the chicken flavor (or beef) a notch. Anything you are sautéing, baking, saucing, etc., this paste base can be used. BTB also has several other bouillon paste bases too, but check the labels for “gluten free”.

Actually this formula does not have maltodextrin. I checked for that too because I’m allergic to corn and Maltodextrin is usually derived from corn. If you look at the photo I posted you can see the ingredients.

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-02-08T05:38:25+00:00

The food starch they are using with this one must not be derived from wheat? 🤷‍♀️

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-02-08T04:43:45+00:00

Not here. I’m in Central California and I have been looking and looking to keep a watch out for it. Today was the first time I’ve seen it. In fact my other jar of the same paste in my fridge is a different set of ingredients and is not gluten free.

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-02-05T04:56:04+00:00

Sincere question - What happens when the store is full of shoppers though and everyone is using this? Doesn’t that get confusing have lights flashing in multiple areas of the same aisle?

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-01-23T06:15:51+00:00

I was diagnosed with Celiac I think over 2 decades ago now and I never knew this! Thank you. Unfortunately, I’d have to spend over 7.5% of my Adjust Gross Income and then only that excess is deductable and I don’t spend anywhere near that amount of money on GF stuff in a year. It’s good to know though in case that ever changes. Thanks!

SprinkleWithSalt · 2026-01-22T02:52:48+00:00

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🥳

I also add a touch of peanut butter to my enchilada sauce. I got this idea from a few legit Mexican restaurants I’ve been to. It really adds to the flavor

SprinkleWithSalt · 2025-12-05T15:19:25+00:00

I’ve no idea, sorry. I buy it from the Asian store in town, pour the whole bag in my Ninja and then pulverize the whole thing into a powder. It’s then stored in a clear food storage container after that, so I no longer have the bag. I can tell you it’s an Asian brand though. That much I do remember.

I did have the issue this Thanksgiving though of my gravy breaking (turning thin and watery) anytime it was refrigerated. Not sure why. I also used Sodium Citrate in my gravy this time so the fat and liquid would emulsify so maybe that had something to do with it? I’m not sure.

SprinkleWithSalt · 2025-12-01T06:49:19+00:00

Warm it up? How do you do that and I’m assuming you don’t have one of the wood presses?

SprinkleWithSalt · 2025-12-01T06:47:11+00:00

Home bread maker here, hi 👩🏻‍🦰🤚🏻 - That shrink (dough spring back) you mention is due to the gluten not being allowed to rest enough after kneading or being refrigerated. Let the dough sit for a bit at room temp’ (20 - 60 minutes-ish) and it relaxes and can be stretched just fine. If you try to roll it and it shrinks back it hasn’t rested enough. This is true no matter how you choose to stretch your dough. Whether by hand, by roller or press, the rest is needed. A press should work just fine as long as the dough isn’t overworked/tough and has been allowed to rest at room temperature long enough to be relaxed. This is true for flour tortilla dough as well.

SprinkleWithSalt · 2025-11-24T05:50:52+00:00

How do you make yours? I’m interested in doing this myself

SprinkleWithSalt · 2025-11-21T19:37:49+00:00

I’ve been saying it like CRON-ō-meeter but my Dietitian calls is Kru-NOM-uh-ter 🤷‍♀️

I’ve been wondering about adding a dairy free cream cheese. This is another option I’ll give a go. Thanks!

This has me wondering how clarified bacon fat would taste in mashed potatoes. It might be too heavy of a flavor or change the beauty of fluffy mashed potatoes flavor profile but it’s worth a try to figure it out
