Low-sodium vegetable stock is a clear, savory cooking liquid made by simmering vegetables, aromatics, and herbs in water with minimal added salt. It has a light body and a clean, vegetal aroma while providing gentle depth; use it to simmer soups, cook grains, braise vegetables, or deglaze pans. Common retail forms include shelf-stable cartons and cans, with some frozen or concentrated bases.
Stocks and broths developed in European kitchens and spread globally, with vegetable versions embraced across cuisines for meatless cooking. Commercial production scales the simmer-and-strain method, and low-sodium formulations grew alongside labeling standards and demand for tighter control over seasoning.
