Don't know if you have seen these in your local grocery store but they are wonderful.

 

one cube is one clove of garlic

 

I have seen garlic, onion and cilantro.

I will have to look for these! Do they have a long shelf life?

I'll have to look next time I'm in town. They look cool!

Well according to the box that I just bought the "best if used by" date is only about 6 months. Since I have only bought one box I can't comment on the shelf life.

I haven't seen these, but will have to look for them as well.

I am totally addicted to them!!!! I cook a lot of Mexican, so i use the cilantro a lot!!!! The onion and garlic are also great!!!! FYI. I fund them in the Mexican section at our local Walmart.

From Philbe...got several jars of them! LOL I also store up the jars of chicken & beef "sprinkles". When they're empty (I make alot of soups) I save the jars and put these cubes in them to keep them moist and to keep bugs out...and they will draw those little black bugs! Lost several boxes of the tomato ones to those critters! So, I keep them vacume sealed (with my food saver attachment) in jars. They even have some in tomato and fish. Another (but more expensive) are the "flavor boost" packets. Love them all!

These are really nice. I keep all three flavors in my pantry. Ya never kn ow when you will run out of fresh, so these are a good back-up. I have also used them after storing them for 2 years, and they are just fine.

They also make a Chipotle flavor, which OS my favorite. Each cube=1 chipotle pepper!

From Philbe: Be sure to vacume seal them in jars...or little critters will try to get to them (bugs). I lost a whole bag full once, so mine are sealed in jars by my food saver jar attachment.

Looks like we all love them! But as I've cautioned...I lost some tomato ones to bugs. So mine are stored via my food saver attachment, in jars. Just a caution to my friends who may want to stock up on some.

So what's the consistency of them? Is it dried cilantro? Or the soft crumblyness of a stock cube?

 

For the garlic I'll just stick to whacking a clove HARD with the chef knife and make with the quick dice. My husband just quietly edges out of the kitchen then.

[Deerslayer]

They are hard squares like bouillon cubes. I press them with a spoon and they crumble

[Trudy]

I bought some of the cilantro intending to try them in my salsa. I completely forgot about them until now! Oh well...maybe next year. I will try some of the other flavors now.
