You've just located the most healthy, tasty and useful vegetarian broth manufactured today! As a long time user, I can tell you that Amazon offers the best possible price for this item. I use it for everything:
a flavoring for plain rice, as a broth for stir frying (instead of oil), as a base for complicated stews and soups. If you find it a bit too salty, just add more water. It has no mysterious chemical additives. It is perfect for heart patients, diabetics, vegans, and folks who just like a fast soup treat.

I've been using this for a couple of months. I usually have a small mug of broth in the evening with slightly less than a teaspoon of mix in 8-10 ounces of boiling water. Very refreshing and only about five calories a serving. I haven't counted how many servings per cannister I get, but I would guess that it is at least the 40 indicated on the label, so this works out to be a very inexpensive as well as refreshing drink. I've also used it a couple of times in rice-cooking water and it is very tasty, if not quite up to my home-made vegetable broth for this purpose. It's a lot easier, of course!

I love this broth. I just ran out and purchased a new supply. I happen to re-read the nutrition lable and discovered that the sodium content has gone from 54 mg (2% daily) to 430 mg (18% daily). If you use this because of the low sodium content, please be aware

Seitenbacher is a fabulous soup mix! One canister makes 40 cups of broth, which makes it incredibly inexpensive. It's also delicious. It makes a truly versatile soup base. People love my nabeyakiudon (Japanese noodle soup), matzoah ball soup (Jewish dumpling soup), golden lentil stew (Indian bean stew), all of which have Seitenbacher as the base. It works for people with allergies and food sensitivities (no gluten, no lactose, no MSG, no soy). It's all natural and vegetarian (no gelatin). And I can't emphasize enough the rich, deep flavor.

I'm a vegetarian and we veggies have a problem; finding tasty bullion that is not chock-a-block full of hydrogenated oils, MSG and/or animal fat. If you go to the "health food" store or section of the grocery you usually get something that has a lot of soy and tastes, well, healthy, if you follow. Seitenbacher has made a soup that utterly rules. I buy it from Amazon, by the case. Why? Because it is cheaper than buying it by the can at a local store (if you can find it locally, good luck with that). Seitenbacher calls it Vegetarian Vegetable Broth and Seasoning, and a fine seasoning it is. There are four flavors that routinely find their way to our dinner table: salt, vitamin C powder (for tang), Tobasco and this powder. Mix it with rice, in sauce or put any mix of beans and veggies and you have a soup that will attract even the finickiest 7 year old. [...]

I am a vegetarian living in a carnivores' world. I frequently have problem buying the veggie foods I like. When my vegetable bouillon ran out, I was distressed to find that my favorite grocery stores no longer carried them. I was very happy to find this Seitenbacher Vegetarian Vegetable Broth and Seasoning at amazon.com. It is a powdered broth; it can be mixed in with any food, solid or liquid, and hence more versatile than bouillon. I use it in my instant soup bowls, macaroni, Ramen noodles, etc., and most of all, my famous Big Al's mushroom veggie rice soup. It adds a delicious favor to my food. Yum! Who says that vegetarians do not eat well?

As a former chef I can honestly say this is the best powdered product I have ever used. It can instantly turn something ordinary into something delicious! A must for your pantry.

We eat this often as a seasoning on pan fried potatoes, as well as other dishes. Love it.

This is a really good, low-sodium boullion powder. In addition, is it free of tomatoes (for those on a macrobiotic diet) as well as gluten in any form (for those allergic to gluten), soy anything and any milk product. It gives a great flavor to soups and gravies and any other dish where a savory taste is appropriate. I was *amazed* at how fast I received the item--it wasn't more than a couple of days, and shipped the day of my order. I recommend unreservedly.

The seasoning not only has a great taste but the sodium content is considerably lower than a teaspoon of salt. If you are on a sodium restricted diet, this product is great. It only has 430mg sodium per teaspoon. I use it on roast, beef stew, steaks and always get compliments on the flavor.
