Description

Vegetable broth base

The vegetable broth base is a fundamental ingredient in cooking, used to prepare broths and stocks that add flavor, aroma, and depth to a wide variety of recipes, from soups and stews to risottos and sauces. It is a concentrated mixture of dehydrated or reduced vegetables that can be found in the form of powder, cubes, or paste.

Its origin is linked to the culinary tradition of different cultures that use vegetable broths as a base for their dishes. This ingredient is a practical and quick alternative to homemade broth, allowing the flavor of preparations to be enhanced without the need to cook fresh vegetables for long hours.

Among its main properties, its ability to enrich the flavor of foods without adding fat or ingredients of animal origin stands out, making it ideal for vegetarian and vegan diets. Furthermore, it is a source of minerals and phytonutrients depending on the vegetables included in its composition, such as carrot, onion, celery, leek, and garlic.

In the Hispanic American context, the vegetable broth base may also be known by other terms, depending on the region, such as: concentrated vegetable broth, vegetable bouillon cube, vegetable broth powder, or simply vegetable bouillon.

This ingredient is indispensable for those looking to simplify the preparation of their recipes without sacrificing flavor, facilitating dishes with a balanced and natural aromatic and taste profile.
