2 Pound Big Bag-Vegetable Soup Blend Dried Dehydrated Vegetable Flakes To Make Ramen Noodle or Simple Vegetable Soup

Executive Summary: 1.👅* 2.👃** 3. 😵‍💫*** 4. 💰**** 5. ✌️***** It’s so many things good Let me say a few: 1.* Flavorful. When used in any stew it adds a mild vegetable flavor. When not used and I use only fresh vegetables, the decline in flavor is noticed. A good idea is to use fresh, frozen, and this one. A happy 😊 combination . 2. ** Aroma is right there. The fragrance fills the kitchen for days. 😊 3. *** Texture. In package, it looks powdery. It’s dehydrated! Water is removed through their dehydration process. The dehydration is complete. More complete than other dehydrated things I’ve used. When re-hydrated, it’s quite well restored to normal vegetable bits. Not chewy but as chewy as a normal vegetable, however small vegetable bit. 😊 4. ****💰 I see it as a good buy. But that’s just me 🚶‍♂️. It adds to eating, aroma and texture.🙋‍♂️ But, you say, I don’t see a lot for the price. Answer: Correct, it’s dehydrated, it will look and act like a lot, when subsequently, it be rehydrated. 😊 5. *****✌️This is my second purchase Nothings ever works if you don’t try . 🎳 Jim 🚶‍♂️ This part is new: I went to sprinkle granola on my yogurt and accidentally sprinkled this vegetable mix instead. Surprised 😮 What I discovered is that this mix reconstituted very fast. Tastes better than when it’s boiled in stew style. The flavor without stewing is increased. Since the yoghurt incident, I’ve tried reconstituting it with room temperature water for half hour. It worked great and became a snacking option. Try it. 💪 Jim Czachor

Easy to use. Good quality. Good flavor. Good ingredients. Good shelf life. Drastically reduces time and energy spent food-prepping. Use a little or a lot and use in just about anything.

No, that is not pasta. There is no pasta in this. Probably looking at dehydrated onion, which are slim white bits. That green powder? it's parsley INGREDIENTS: Dehydrated Onion, Carrot, Potato, Sweet Potatoes, Red And Green Bell Peppers AND Parsley Flakes. Shake the bag to distribute the green parsley. So yeh.. it is just dried dehydrated vegetables, nothing more nothing less. Diced small, well more like flakes--and that is what they call it--, and there is some vegetable powder (parsley mostly) in the bag. Not enough to take away texture. Totally will be fine for nutrition. I keep bags of dehydrated veg on hand for any time use. I like adding it to soups mostly. Amps up the nutrition. I will usually grab for fresh or frozen if I have it, but sometimes I dont, or sometimes the stores dont have much to choose from, or are out. SO I have dried vegetable blends in my pantry at all times. Extra nice as a prepping option. Just gives me reassurance that I always have a nice variety of vegetables in my home. Bad weather and cant get to store? Ive still got veggies. I buy different brands as each have different components. Shop around, pay attention to what it is in the blend. I have purchased this brand a couple of times now, no issues. Not a resealable bag but it is a strong bag. Can just clip or tape it closed, or transfer to a container of your choice. I dont pay attention to "best by" date. Really no way for these to expire, and best by is just a guarantee of freshness and form. Does not impact safety. I simply try to keep it stored in a cool dark location. As for preparation, I find dehydrated vegetables rehydrate best when rehydrated on their own before placing in a soup or stew. Your experience may vary. I also tend to find that the veg maintains a slight chew. So not the same as fresh if your expectations are such. But works well for what it is.

The contents contain a lot of dust, but still have larger chunks. Unsuitable for tossing in to cook on a stove top with pasta. However if I rehydrate it separately into a paste, add some butter and spices? It makes an extremely tasty paste that can be mixed into cooked pasta. Will definitely buy again.

I continue to buy these because they’re great and easy to add vegetables to any dish I’m making.

The dried vegetables were decent and small enough to rehydrate in a typical amount of time. Flavor for the proper vegetables was fine and as expected, but the parsley was too strong. My other issue with the parsley is the amount. There was way too much and it was very finely ground. When I first saw the bag I thought there was a collection of dirt and dust in the bag. When you add it to hot water, the water immediately turns dark greenish gray, not very appetizing. I think this product would be much better without any parsley at all. Herbs are easy to add and fine tuning them to individual tastes is simple.

What a good buy. Still have half the bag left. I toss in a few tablespoons when I'm making Ramen noodles

Man oh man, where can I start with these dry vegetables in a bag? I feel like you can hydrate these all day and stick em in all sorts of food which is delicious and nutritious. Maybe if you make a soup you can stick it in that or you can make your own vegetable bars or on a salad, the limits are endless so turn that smile upside down and go and make you some vegetable goodness and that good happiness starts at your diet where your main staple should be dry vegetables. I made a soup last March and I put the dry vegetables in it and it was amazing how water has the ability to not only make the vegetables wet, but they are also edible and actually taste like real vegetables. I put it in the cabinet with a rubber band around it and it became infested with over 100 small insect friends, which I exterminated immediately by throwing the bag into the garbage can. I haven't bought another bag since because of the mental association I have with bugs when I think of this big dry vegetable bag.

Arrived as viewed and appears to be properly sealed and packaged which is important.
