Kallo makes stock cubes, bouillon and rice cakes, and is the brand most people reach for when they want a stock cube without the additives. The range includes Organic Vegetable Stock Cubes and Low Salt Vegetable Stock Cubes. Free UK delivery on orders over £40 from Quickvit.
Kallo has been a fixture of the health food aisle for decades, largely on the strength of its stock cubes and bouillon. The appeal is a short ingredients list and versions that suit particular diets, which conventional stock cubes rarely do.
The range covers organic, yeast free, low salt and gluten free options, so it is usually possible to find a cube that fits whatever you are cooking around.
Stock cubes are the core: vegetable, chicken and beef, in organic, yeast free and low salt versions. Bouillon powder is there if you would rather measure than unwrap.
The rice cake side covers plain and flavoured, including chocolate-topped versions. They are naturally gluten free, though as always the pack is worth checking.
We have sold store cupboard staples since 1988 and keep the specialist versions — yeast free, low salt — which are the hardest to find in a supermarket.
Free UK delivery on orders over £40, with orders placed before midday Monday to Friday aimed for same-day dispatch.

One cube generally makes around 500ml of stock, but check the pack, as this varies. If you are watching salt, the low salt cubes are a straightforward swap without changing how you cook.
Store cubes somewhere cool and dry and reseal the box. Rice cakes go soft quickly once opened, so an airtight container is worth the trouble.
