Veg stock cubes are concentrated seasoning blocks used to add flavor to soups, stews, sauces, and other dishes. Typically found in Western and international cuisines, they are made from a blend of dehydrated vegetables, herbs, salt, and sometimes yeast extract or sugar to enhance taste. Common ingredients include carrot, onion, celery, leek, parsley, and spices. They are a convenient way to build depth in vegetarian or vegan recipes without cooking fresh stocks. While veg stock cubes are low in calories, they can be high in sodium, which may not be suitable for those on a low-sodium diet or managing blood pressure. Some varieties are gluten-free or organic, catering to specific dietary needs. For a healthier option, look for reduced-sodium versions or those free from artificial additives. Veg stock cubes offer ease and versatility in the kitchen but should be used mindfully as part of a balanced diet.
