What is Vegeta seasoning?
Wendy Graves
Didn't know what Vegeta seasoning was either - here's what a google search revealed - it's available through World Market, Amazon, etc. The real magic behind Vegeta is due largely to the combination of dehydrated vegetables that make it up. Unlike other seasoning salts which rely heavily on herbs and spices, Vegeta contains bits of carrots, parsnips, onions, potatoes, celery and parsley, plus black pepper, nutmeg and salt.

No lumps, ever, making grits or polenta if you wisk the cornmeal into room temp water and then heat. Even better, bake it covered at 350F for about 40 minutes and stir in a bit of (vegan or regular) butter or oil. Enjoy.

I googled to find the answer to Sabina’s question, what is Vegeta seasoning?It’s dehydrated vegetables, including celery, onion, parsley, and parsnips plus unspecified spices. No MSG. It’s a quick flavor enhancer. Can be ordered online.I think the dish of cornmeal mush and tomato stew is worth trying.

Vegeta is a seasoning that may or may not contain MSG. It is used in African cooking and in other cooking as a short cut to flavor. I frankly avoid it at all costs and season my food my own way with ingredients I know.

You could go with dried carrots, parsnips, celeriac, leeks, onion, and garlic (about a kilogram pre-drying). Process all into powder, add two tbsp turmeric, dried parsley and (if you can find it) lovage. This will be the base. In the original formulation it is then mixed with salt, MSG and sugar. Salt is about 50% by mass, so for this recipe you can use 1.5 tsp base and 1 tsp salt. Although, probably best to salt to taste, and it's hard to go wrong on too much dried veg.

It is a commercial seasoning mix. Believe it or not I get mine at Walmart in the international food aisle.

Absolutely delicious! My suggestions: add tomato paste with onions along with berbere seasoning. Deglaze with red wine. Use full green pepper. Serve with lemon, feta, and more cilantro.

MSG has never caused the widespread problems jammed up in the popular mythology springing forth in the 60's from a letter to to the New England Journal of Medicine by Chinese-American doctor Robert Ho Man Kwok explaining he got sick after consuming Chinese food. He thought it could be alcohol, sodium or MSG that made him feel bad. Not even a study! Later studies debunked his theory and others upheld it with inadequate controls, lack of dosage accuracy, small sample sizes, etc.

MSG affects me badly.

This was fabulous although I substituted Sazon for the Vegeta, which I didn't have. A perfect combination of texture and taste.

I made the Dalac Bilaash this evening (making the soor tomorrow, to go with it). The Dalac Bilaash is very tasty but the number one ingredient in Vegeta seasoning is salt,so it is also very salty. If making again, I would start with 1 to 1 1/2 tsp of the seasoning. (The vegetables cook down to about 2 cups of stew.) I plan to add very little salt to the soor

If you are in Australia, Vegeta is available at most supermarkets. It's a really handy addition to your pantry.

Anyone have a hack for homemade Vegeta?
