Vegetable sauce is a versatile condiment made primarily from a blend of tomatoes, onions, garlic, and various finely chopped or pureed vegetables such as peppers, zucchini, carrots, and celery. Commonly rooted in Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, it is a staple in pasta dishes, casseroles, and stews. The sauce’s nutrient profile depends on the ingredients used, but it generally provides a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants from the colorful vegetable mix. Low in fat and adaptable to various diets, it can be cooked with herbs like basil and oregano for added flavor and health benefits. However, its healthiness can be offset by added sugars, salt, or heavy oils often found in store-bought varieties. Homemade versions offer the best control over these elements, making vegetable sauce a flavorful and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
