Knorr, in partnership with WWF (the World Wide Fund for Nature), proudly presents The Future 50 Foods report. This initiative highlights a diverse array of plant-based foods from across the globe, designed to enhance the nutritional content of your meals while simultaneously lessening the environmental footprint of our food systems. Familiar UK staples like spinach, lentils, and sweet potato are featured, alongside many others. To make incorporating these beneficial foods easy, many Knorr recipes are crafted to include at least one Future 50 Food, offering a simple way to boost your meals' nutritional value.

Boosting the nutritional value of your meals is simple by swapping everyday ingredients for one of the Future 50 Foods. For instance, replacing beef with lentils in your Bolognese sauce can dramatically cut the meal's greenhouse gas impact by up to 99%!
Beyond environmental benefits, these swaps often require significantly less water and are fantastic at absorbing the rich flavours of your dishes during cooking.
You can easily find your favourite Knorr products at major supermarkets across the UK. For precise location details, please use our convenient store locator tool on the website to find the nearest stockist to you.
To ensure your Knorr products maintain their quality and flavour, store them in a cool, dry place. Ideal locations include your kitchen cupboard or pantry, away from direct heat or moisture.
The key difference lies in their form and preparation. A Knorr Stock Pot is essentially homemade stock that has been reduced to a concentrated jelly state, offering a rich, deep flavour. In contrast, a Knorr Stock Cube is a compressed mixture of flavoured powders. While they can often be used interchangeably to add flavour to dishes, stock cubes offer greater versatility, being ideal for creating marinades and pastes. Both are excellent, quick, and easy ways to elevate the flavour of your culinary creations.
Both Knorr Stock Pots and Stock Cubes are fantastic for adding that signature homemade stock flavour to your dishes. For liquid-based meals like sauces, casseroles, and soups, simply melt in a Knorr Stock Pot. Knorr Stock Cubes can also be used in these dishes, but they truly shine in their versatility. Use them to create flavourful pastes, marinades, or even add a boost to the cooking water for your vegetables or rice. The good news is that most Knorr recipes are designed to accommodate either a Stock Pot or a Stock Cube, giving you flexibility in the kitchen.
Yes, you can absolutely make stock from scratch by simmering vegetables, meat bones, and herbs for up to six hours. It's a rewarding process, but we understand it's time-consuming! That's precisely why Knorr developed Stock Pots. Instead of spending hours on preparation, simply dissolve a Knorr Stock Pot into your dish for that authentic, slow-cooked stock flavour in a fraction of the time.

Knorr is deeply committed to sustainability, with a decade-long history of using sustainably sourced vegetables and herbs in our products. Globally, an impressive 95% of all vegetables and herbs used in Knorr products are sourced sustainably. While sustainability focuses on responsible farming and resource management, organic ingredients are produced using natural substances and processes, strictly excluding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. You'll find both approaches reflected in our product range, demonstrating our dedication to quality and environmental responsibility.
Products labelled 'Gluten-Free' by Knorr adhere strictly to the Food Information to Consumers (FIC) Regulations. This means they contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity. The presence of ingredients like barley, which may have been processed in a way that removes gluten or is naturally very low in it, is permissible as long as the final product meets the stringent gluten-free threshold.
Knorr Aromat Seasoning is a masterfully blended mix of herbs and spices, designed to be used just like salt and pepper to enhance your favourite dishes. Sprinkle it in during cooking or add it at the table as a versatile condiment. Aromat has the power to transform everyday ingredients like poultry, eggs, salads, and vegetables into something truly special with its balanced flavour.
Recognizing the growing concern about excessive salt intake and its potential health implications, Knorr developed the innovative Zero Salt Stock Cube. This unique product empowers you to control the amount of salt added to your meals, offering a healthier way to build flavour. It's the perfect solution for cooking delicious meals for the entire family, allowing everyone to enjoy great taste while managing their salt consumption.
Knorr is proud to offer a selection of products that meet specific ethical and quality standards. Our entire range of Knorr Organic Stock Pots is certified organic. Additionally, our Knorr Zero Salt Chicken Stock Cubes are sourced from free-range chickens, reflecting our commitment to responsible sourcing.
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact, and that includes our packaging. Currently, our cardboard boxes and Knorr Dry Seasoning glass shakers are recyclable.

We encourage you to look for the recycling icons on our packs for the most up-to-date information on how to dispose of them responsibly.
