Beef Bone Broth Soup by Kettle and Fire, 1 Pack

Where do I start.. First of all, this broth package was VERY small, so small it fit in my hand. View picture. 17.6 oz and the package was extremely small. And I paid almost $20 for it. NOT happy. Secondly, the smell opening the container is absolutely horrid. Rotting meat is the best way to describe it. I almost threw it away at this point but decided to cook it against my better judgement. The taste is horrible and tastes like rancid water. I couldnt stomach it and ended up throwing it away. I don't feel like this is a quality product at all, especially with what is being charged. They tried to cover up the bad taste with a lot of salt, but that's not good for you either and you shouldnt have to mask the taste of a good broth. There's no texture, this reminds me of a cheap canned soup you'd buy at the local supermarket. Felt a little naseous after drinking. Thirdly, I don't see how this being shelf stable and all can be a real broth, when I cooked mine in the past it always had to be refrigerated or frozen. I know if its in a tetra pack it is most likely aseptically processed, and with that being said I have a lot of doubts because this most certainly damages the nutritional value of the broth, which is one of the reasons me or anyone else would buy it anyways. But I still wanted to give it a try hoping it would gel in my fridge and that id be pleasantly surprised because of what they said on their website. NO GEL whatsoever. Just smelly, watery liquid. This product is overpriced and overhyped, they are packaging a cheap product trying to capitalize on the "bone broth" name. Extremely disappointed. Wish I could get my money back. Wish I could say something nice about this, but everything was off. Just NO NO NO. Hopefully my review helps others who are trying to make a choice for their health and looking for a quality product. -Matt
