 The instructions are to add 2 tablespoons of the granules to 1 cup of boiling water. So no matter how you look at it it has a high sodium content. A quarter cup of the gravy would still contain 280 mg of salt.  And I accept that is it is a concern to some but gravy is a treat for me.  It’s not something I eat every day or even every week. 

The manager of the British store I went to years ago seemed perturbed that I was still using powdered Bisto. She said she makes gravy in the roasting pan and just before it's done she shakes some granules in the gravy, stirs it up and it's done. I bought a can of the granules but went back to powder.
