Vegetable Bouillon

• Use vegetable bouillon as a flavorful base for homemade soups and stews: Simply dissolve a bouillon cube or teaspoon of granules in hot water to create a rich vegetable broth. Adjust the concentration to your taste preference for a stronger or milder flavor.
• Enhance the flavor of sauces and gravies with vegetable bouillon: Add a small amount of bouillon powder or dissolved cube to your sauces for an extra layer of savory depth. This works particularly well in vegetarian and vegan gravy recipes.
• Season your grains and legumes during cooking with vegetable bouillon: Instead of plain water, cook rice, quinoa, lentils, or other grains in vegetable bouillon for a more flavorful and aromatic dish. This is an excellent way to add subtle complexity to otherwise bland ingredients.
• Create a quick and easy vegetable broth for braising and poaching: When braising vegetables or poaching delicate ingredients like fish, use vegetable bouillon as the liquid to infuse them with a delicious vegetable flavor.
• Make a quick and satisfying vegetable broth for drinking or sipping: Dissolve a bouillon cube or teaspoon of granules in hot water and enjoy it as a comforting and low-calorie beverage, especially during colder months or when feeling under the weather.

• Often lower in sodium than traditional bouillon, aiding blood pressure management.
• Can be a source of trace minerals, depending on the vegetables used.
• Provides a savory, umami flavor, potentially reducing the need for added salt.
• A good base for soups and stews, promoting vegetable consumption.

Vegetable bouillon cubes or granules should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. An airtight container is ideal to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause clumping or degradation of flavor. Once opened, ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use. Properly stored, vegetable bouillon can last for several months to a year beyond its printed expiration date, though flavor may gradually diminish over time. Refrigeration is not necessary.
