Vegetable Stock (reference) Recipe
Yield: 1 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
None,
4: Vegetable Stocks Described:,
Directions:
Pritikin Vegetable Broth is canned and ff. It has 290 mg sodium per
serving (about 1 cup). Though that isnt great, the label says it is
65% less sodium than Swanson canned veggie broth. I havent tried it
yet.
Hain makes a canned vegetable stock that is good, but it isnt clear
so it isnt too good for clear soups or gravies. Its basically
pureed veggies. It has the texture of v8 juice and the color of
carrot juice.
Vecon is a stock base that comes in a jar. Its imported from
England. Its pretty good. (Thanks to Michael Traub for pointing me
to it.) 1/2 tsp makes 1 cup of broth and has 40mg of fat (i.e. .040
gram, ff by American labeling standards). It has 235 mg sodium. The
first ingredient is hydrolyzed vegetable protein, which I think some
people avoid -- I think its a source of msg.
Gayelord Hausers Instant Vegetable Broth is a powder. It contains
yeast, soy flour, hydrolized vegetable protein, and a bunch of ground
up dehydrated vegetables. Vegetables that are dehydrated, ground, then
reconstituted in boiling water taste a lot different from vegetable
stock that is dehydrated. I think this stuff is rather bland, but it
might be ok for cooking. It doesnt give nutritional info on the box,
but based on the ingredients (no added salt or fat) it should be
pretty good.
Theres a brand of stock called "Take Stock" that comes frozen in 8-oz
containers. They have a veggie stock that I think is ff that I only
have tried once. The stuff I made from it was awful, through no fault
of the stock, but that means I dont know if the stock is good on its
own. Dont know about sodium.
