What it is

Vegetable stock powder is a dehydrated mixture of vegetables, herbs, spices, and often salt and flavor enhancers. It is made by drying and grinding down ingredients like onions, carrots, celery, and various seasonings. This process concentrates their flavors into a powder form.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use vegetable stock powder to add a savory, umami flavor to a wide range of foods. It acts as a flavor enhancer and seasoning base. It is commonly found in packaged entrees, side dishes, soups, sauces, and marinades.

Health notes

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many common stock ingredients. At typical consumption levels, it contributes to sodium intake. Some individuals may be sensitive to specific components or added flavor enhancers.
