Vegetable bouillon is a concentrated seasoning base made from dehydrated vegetables, herbs, salt, and flavor enhancers such as yeast extract or MSG. It comes in cubes, powders, or pastes designed to dissolve quickly in hot water to create a light vegetable stock or to add savory depth directly to dishes.
Because it is highly concentrated, a small amount provides pronounced umami and salt, making it useful for building flavor in soups, stews, grains, and sauces. Formulations vary by brand—some are low-sodium or organic, while others lean herb-forward or include spices like celery and turmeric.
