Broth/Stock - Clear or cloudy?

I'm sure here it's mostly colored salt water at around, at least, $1.50 / quart. I'll buy them from the discount store when they're $0.99 to have on hand. According to the label this is *not much*...View attachment 121836

Not too keen on the way it’s labelled. Prefer the ‘per 100grams‘ way of doing it cos you can instantly see what the overall percentage in the product is.

But if “gels” and there are no thickeners there must be some good stuff in it.

It’s funny, because I think it has to do with what a person is used to…we have a lot of UK/Euro products in our house, have had for decades, and I <bleeping> hate the “per 100g” nutrition labels.
 
Here’s why people in the UK make their own or rely on stock cubes, check out the price per 100mls/grams.

But they’re simple. It shows you the percentage of something in a product. Where as the ‘per serving’ (which is often along side it on the UK labels) means you have to work out what a serving is and how much of a serving you’re having, if you’re trying to control you sugar or salt intake that makes it harder.

Unless you get a dietary app and just scan your food which a lot of people do.

Here, it tells you what a serving is (2 cookies…2 TB…etc). That’s precisely why I prefer it.

With the “per 100g” method, I have to figure out how much a cookie weighs. I’ve noticed, though, more and more UK labels showing both a column for per 100g and per item. I’m happiest with that, because everyone gets what they want.
