Meat cubes are ready! Use a cube of cube for 500 ml of water: you will get a delicate meat broth. You can store the nuts in a jar with a lid, at room temperature, for 5-6 weeks. Remember that the secret to success is slow and long drying of the nut.Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
The diced meat cube is a food product almost completely devoid of nutritional importance, as, after dilution, it does not significantly affect the overall nutritional intake. It does not contain gluten, lactose and additives; its use requires the dilution of a nut each pot of water.
ATTENTION! Due to the impossibility of accurately estimating the dehydration percentage of diced meat cubes, the nutritional estimation cannot be done with accuracy.
