Vegetable stock is a flavorful liquid made by simmering vegetables, herbs, and spices in water, commonly used as a base for soups, stews, and sauces. Traditional ingredients include onions, carrots, celery, garlic, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves, though recipes often vary by region and personal preference. Rooted in European cuisine, veg stock is now an essential ingredient in global cooking. It is naturally low in calories, fat-free, and packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the vegetables used, making it a nutritious choice. Homemade versions allow greater control over sodium content, while many store-bought options can be high in sodium, so it’s important to read labels carefully. Veg stock is vegetarian and vegan-friendly, serving as a healthy and versatile substitute for meat-based stocks in a wide array of dishes.
