Vegeta All Purpose Seasoning and Soup Mix, 70 Ounce Bag

I was planning to buy Knorr's vegetable bouillon powder at a local store but they were out of stock. I came to Amazon and did a search of "vegetable bouillon powder". I was hoping to find Knorr's vegetable bouillon powder on Amazon that was as cheap as what I would pay at a local store, where it's about 50 cents an ounce. I saw that Vegeta was only 26 cents an ounce if I were to buy the 4 lb 6 oz bag. Most of the reviews for Vegeta were positive so I thought I'd give it a try. With it being half the price of Knorr's vegetable bouillon powder, I had little to lose by trying it and much to gain if it turned out to be good. I bought a bag of Vegeta that weighed 4 pounds and 6 ounces. Shipping was free. The Vegeta was $17.99 and with taxes it came out to $18.86. My package arrived in good condition. I sprinkled a small amount of Vegeta on some hash browns and it was a tasty alternative to salt or seasoned salt. I also tried it as a broth for soup and a flavor enhancer and gravy for boneless pork loin. Depending on how I want to use it, 3/4 to 1 level teaspoon per cup of warm water is ideal. If I want to add flavor to something which will already have plenty of flavor, I'll use the weaker mixture. For example, if I want to enhance the flavor of a boneless pork loin and give it a little more liquid for gravy, I'll add 3/4 level teaspoon to a cup of hot water, stir it until it dissolves and then pour it over a boneless pork loin and cook it in my crock pot. Or if I make potato and leek soup, which calls for vegetable stock, I'll use 1 level teaspoon per cup of water. But if I want a broth for vegetable soup where Vegeta is the main flavoring or the only flavoring, I'll use 1 level teaspoon for each cup of water or 4 level teaspoons per quart. I also used 2 level teaspoons of Vegeta to 2 cups of water to cook 1 cup of rice and the results were very good. Some reviewers have noted that there's a lot of sodium in Vegeta. There is but no more than there is in chicken bouillon powder and there's a simple remedy for that: Use less Vegeta. As I said, 3/4 to 1 level teaspoon of Vegeta per cup of water is ideal for most uses but you can use 1/2 to 3/4 of a level teaspoon instead. I've compared vegetable broth I made with Vegeta to broth I made with Better Than Bouillon and the broth made with Better Than Bouillon was no better than broth made with Vegeta even though Better Than Bouillon is more expensive. Vegeta is a good and inexpensive alternative to other brands of vegetable bouillon powder or cubes.

Great product and reasonably priced!

I've been using VEGETA since the late 1980s. I am never without it and neither is any of my family. This makes EVERYTHING taste better. 5 stars? Nope, a gazillion!!! 😁

This is a must have in our house, my wife yells at me if we have less than a pound left. Great for those who cook at home and like good taste ;)

I am Croatian and my parents used this while I was growing up. Just like them I use this for everything. I use this for goulash, soups, steaks, pork loins, and my children even use this to season popcorn. This bag is a great value for how much you get it is HUGE! It literally lasts such a long time. Anyone that I've met does not even know what vegeta is. I've spread the word about it to whoever would listen friend wise hopefully some of them gave it a try. It's my kitchen go to and I always love the way it makes things so much more flavorful. I put this into a jar next to my stove because I use it in nearly everything. Season everything with this just like some people use hot sauce on everything I use this on everything.

This is very delicious to add in soups French fries steaks fish wings etc . Used for more than 40 years . I used to buy from Serbia direct . Ty

Very good, but use it with little salt or non

It’s a very delicious seasoning from Hungary. It’s basically dried vegetables and we are using it season soups, meat, and anything what needs some salt and vegetables. Enjoy!
