The invention of soup block is attributed to a French Mr. Hu Bin's attempt at home in 1831. In order to take children out for a picnic and eat delicious thick soup, he thought of the fish soup he had not finished the night before and took out the frozen block, which is estimated to be the world's first bouillon cube. It's a bit far-fetched but according to the history of European seasonings, soup cubes are something as simple as that. In 1908, Mr. Maggi of Switzerland commercially packaged and produced the soup block, and subsequently annexed Mr. Maggi's private small factory, carried out large-scale production of the soup block and gave it the name Maggi. In 2003, this instant product was introduced to China.
