10 Best Gravy Granules | UK Nutritionist Reviewed

This powdered beef gravy from Essential Cuisine was simply way too good not to include in the list. Made from real beef drippings, stock and extract, this is the perfect choice for creating a truly beefy flavour and texture. 

It's certainly not vegan, organic or low in salt, but it definitely chooses not to hide behind any falsities in its intentions. It is, by design, a very rich, thick and delicious beef gravy powder that will leave all the beef lovers pining for more - which is lucky cause it comes in a 1.5kg tub.

The aah! gravy granule range is Bisto's magnum opus of gravy making, with a distinct taste and blend that makes it a favourite of the nation. This is the reduced salt option which is vegetarian and suitable for smothering over the entire roast - trimmings and all. 

The offering on Amazon is a two-pack of 170g cans to give you a decent amount of gravy potential without being over the top. A low-salt classic purposed for plenty of dish types that deserves your attention!

With a clear intent on producing healthy food products to a certain standard, catering to the many ways people view food in the modern-day - Kallo are a brand for the now. This is their organic, low-salt vegetable gravy with a very minor 0.27g of salt per 100ml serving. 

These considerate granules are also gluten-free and labelled as vegan-friendly, although they may contain milk and egg due to the factory they're produced in. A thoughtful gravy for the health-conscious folk who want to know their food's story. 

German brand Knorr is another icon of the ready-to-go food world, having produced soups, bouillon cubes and such since 1838. This heritage in production means they know their way around making food that tastes as it should but requires minimal effort to get it to the table. 

This is their 1.88kg tub of gravy granules which is specifically intended for meat dishes. Making 25-litres of gravy goodness, this tub will see your family through the depths of winter, where a roast a week is common practice. A Gluten-free and vegetarian option makes this a thoughtful gravy for all. 

Marigold are a health-focused brand with a wide-reaching gravy selection, but this is their signature gravy granule that comes ready to mingle with all roast and dish types. Its ability to pair with everything makes this an excellent addition to any cupboard as a secret saucy weapon. 

This particular offering on Amazon will see you stocked, locked and loaded with granules for a good and long while. Coming as a six-pack of 170g cans, you can share the gravy making love with the whole family. 

Bisto is the original gravy-making brand of Britain, having written the rule book on how instant gravy has come to be. Their onion gravy granules are vegetarian and, with a bit of help from some boiling water, are perfect, when poured over your next Sunday roast. 

Onion gravy is one of those special gravy's that has a versatile edge to it, suiting both meat and veggie roasts. The only note of concern is that Bisto boasts about this particular mix being 'low-salt'. However, at 11.26g per 100g, the nutritional info tells a different story. 

Free & Easy have kept their ingredients list light and breezy with this powdered gravy, including no dairy, gluten or meat, making it completely vegan. This dedication to keeping its ingredients list simple and whole makes this veggie gravy one of the future. 

Consisting primarily of dried cereals and vegetables, this gravy is excellent drizzled over any veggie roast that deserves some sauce. The only hitch is the colour is apparently not quite up to the gravy scratch, with reviewers telling of its translucent texture.  

Remember the rich golden texture of gravy as a kid? Well, Maggi has brought it back to the old school with this powdered blend intended for chicken that is dripping in golden delight. The ingredients list instructs that it's suitable for vegetarians, as it contains absolutely no chicken. 

Depending on where your loyalties lie, this could either be a reason to buy or be something to avoid if you want the authentic flavours of chicken. Also, with 2kg of mix making 30 litres of gravy, it's a decision you'll want to get right. 

Tesco's own brand lamb gravy granules have been specially made for lamb roasts with a hint of mint to seal the pairing deal. It contains a standard 0.8 of salt per 100ml serving, making it not outrageously salty but certainly not a low-salt gravy either. 

A classic gravy granule in that it's not trying to be anything that it's not, excluding itself from the vegetarian/vegan, organic and gluten-free debates. A tasty, extremely cheap offering that is great to smother over Sunday lunch lamb, and it's as simple as that. 

Another gravy instalment from the classic British brand of Bisto, but this time in a Chicken edition. With real meat juices infused into roasted and ground granules, this premium gravy offering is perfect for stews, casseroles, or even as a lunchtime drinking bouillon.

Taste aside, Bisto's Best Chicken Gravy doesn't come in the largest of packaging, meaning we advise you to buy more than one jar if classic chicken dishes are what you're into. In addition, be careful on how much salt you have consumed throughout the day of consumption, as a relatively hefty 11.2g is included within each 100ml serving.
