Goya Ham Flavor Concentrate powdered soup base, 20 single-serve 3.52 oz packets — Pack of 6, instant savory ham broth

Goya Ham Flavor Concentrate is a ready-to-use powdered soup base that delivers rich, savory ham taste to stews, soups, and rice dishes with easy single-serve packets.

These convenient 3.52-ounce packets are designed to add concentrated ham flavor without the need for long simmering or extra stock. Sold as a pack of six containing 20 single-serve packets each, this concentrate is ideal for home cooks, meal prep, or foodservice settings that need consistent savory results. The formulation reconstitutes quickly in water or broth and mixes smoothly into sauces, casseroles, and grain dishes for an immediate flavor boost.

How do I use Goya Ham Flavor Concentrate in everyday cooking?

Using the concentrate is straightforward: dissolve the measured powder into hot water or stock and add to your recipe near the end of cooking to preserve aroma. It blends into liquids and absorbs into rice and grains, providing noticeable ham notes without adding solids.

• Mix one packet with the specified amount of hot water to make instant broth.
• Add a spoonful to simmering soups, beans, or gumbo for deeper taste.
• Stir into rice or risotto during the last 5–10 minutes of cooking.
• Use as a flavor base for sauces, gravies, or braises.

What dishes benefit most from this ham concentrate?

This concentrate enhances dishes that traditionally rely on pork or smoky depth, like bean soups, collard greens, paella-style rice, and chowders. It’s especially useful when you want the savory profile of ham but prefer a shelf-stable or lower-prep alternative to using whole ham hocks or bacon.

• Classic bean and lentil soups—adds savory backbone without extra fat.
• Rice dishes and paellas—builds umami and color in grain-based meals.
• Stews, chowders, and bisques—deepens overall flavor quickly.
• Vegetable braises—imparts meaty notes to vegetarian preparations when used sparingly.

How much concentrate should I use and how should it be stored?

Follow packet instructions for accurate dilution ratios to control intensity; a little goes a long way, so start with the recommended amount and adjust to taste. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place and transfer any opened packets to an airtight container to maintain freshness.

• Use specified packet-to-water ratio on the package as a starting point.
• Adjust seasoning gradually—add more to intensify ham flavor.
• Keep unopened cartons in pantry; reseal or refrigerate after opening.
• Each packet is single-serve for consistent, portion-controlled flavoring.

Who is this for: Home cooks and professional kitchens that need dependable, shelf-stable ham flavor without lengthy preparation will find these packets useful. They suit busy cooks, meal-preppers, caterers, and anyone looking to replicate the savory depth of ham in soups, rice, and sauces while saving time and pantry space. Because the product is concentrated and portioned, it also works well for those controlling sodium and fat by adding flavor without extra meat or grease.
