About Vegetable broth or water

Vegetable broth or water is a versatile liquid widely used as a base in soups, stews, and sauces across various cuisines, particularly in Western, Mediterranean, and Asian cooking. Made by simmering vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, and herbs, it infuses dishes with rich, savory flavors while remaining light and low in fat. Naturally low in calories, vegetable broth is packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants depending on the ingredients used, making it a nutritious alternative to heavier stock options. It’s also free of cholesterol and saturated fats, making it heart-healthy. However, store-bought versions may contain added sodium, so choosing low-sodium options or making it at home is ideal for maintaining nutritional balance. Vegetable water, a simpler version made by boiling only a few vegetables, can be used for hydration or cooking, providing subtle nutrients without overwhelming flavors.
