- Is this broth or stock?
- It is a broth, so it is lighter in body and gelatin than a stock. Use it where you want a mild chicken base rather than a rich, set-up stock.
- How should I store it after opening?
- Refrigerate the carton after opening and use it within a few days, or freeze leftover broth in portions. Check the carton for the exact use-by guidance.
- Is it salty?
- It is a regular broth, not a low-sodium version, but reviewers describe the salt level as moderate. Taste before adding extra salt to a recipe.
- Can I drink it on its own?
- It is meant as a cooking base, and reviewers say it is too thin and mild to sip like a sipping broth. It works best in soups, grains and sauces.
- Does it contain vitamin D?
- Yes, vitamin D is listed among its nutrients, which is unusual for a basic chicken broth. The amount per serving is modest.
- How does it compare with canned broth?
- The carton reseals and pours more cleanly than a can, and the flavor is comparable. Cans may be cheaper per ounce, but the carton is easier to store once opened.
- Where is the Swanson Natural Goodness Chicken Broth Carton cheapest?
- At Target, for $2.29, as of our latest check.
