Plant base is not only meat…
As I have written several times, plant-based is attracting attention in Europe and the United States for its ability to reduce environmental impact and its health benefits. In general, plant-based products often conjure up images of substitutes for meat, but because of the origin of the word (plant-based), they have also spread to cheese and milk. If you practice a vegan diet, you can’t use meat-based broths, so you need a variety of “plant-based” foods.
Kagome’s vegetable stock does not contain animal ingredients
Kagome’s food service products include vegetable stock seasonings. “It’s a dashi seasoning that brings out the deliciousness and flavor of the ingredients themselves. A base of onions, carrots, and celery with added broccoli and other ingredients deepens the richness of the vegetable broth. It’s finished without the addition of yeast extract and thickeners.” It does not contain any animal ingredients, so it is suitable for people with some dietary restrictions.
It can be used in various Japanese, Western, and Chinese recipes, such as dashi for seasoned rice, soup base for ramen, and bouillon substitute for soups and risottos. In particular, there are many Western dishes, and it is attractive that you can use it instead of regular bouillon to create a vegan menu.
What does vegetable soup taste like?
When diluted 17 times, it was a delicious soup that you could drink as it is, with a fragrance like caramelized onions and a richness like brown sugar. Since it is a liquid, adding a little seems to be good when the richness is insufficient. In fact, it is also used in hotels in Tokyo, and there are voices such as “It can be used not only for vegans but also for healthy menus in general” and “It can make the best use of the taste of the ingredients themselves.”
Since it is a product for food service use, the stores that sell it may be limited, but if you find it, why not give it a try?
