Maggi cubes are small cubes of dehydrated vegetables that are reconstituted by adding water. They are a popular ingredient in West African cooking and are used to make flavourful and nutritious meals that can be prepared quickly and easily, even when time is limited. Maggi cubes are made from carefully selected ingredients, including iodized salt, sugar, chilli, pepper, cloves, cassava, onion, corn starch, palm oil, fermented soya beans, soya lecithin, colour caramel, celery, and MSG. They are high in sodium and usually contain hydrogenated oils and lots of MSG, which can be a concern for some peoples health. Maggi cubes are used as a soup base in soups and stews, as a base for pot roast or braised meat dishes, and to make a quick stir fry. They come in different flavors and are straightforward to use.
