Why, so you add more salt later? Pay extra so they leave out an ingredient you have to add later. Makes sense?


I am a light salter, my wife had a stroke, the amount of sodium in the stock is not material to the overall seasoning of the dish, unless you are having the stock by itself. Better than Bullion if very salty, but by the time you add rice or noodles or whatever matrix you use, it's gone.

It depends on what you're cooking. I once made French Onion soup with store bought Beef Stock. I didn't add any additional salt, yet the end result was "too salty".

Using the unsalted stock allows you to control your salt content. Same as using unsalted butter when baking.

If I want to, yes. Usually though, I will not add salt later.
