Gourmanity Dehydrated Mixed Vegetables 2lb

Delicious, good quality, shelf stable way to add veggies to your ramen, soups, sauces and more. Good price for the quantity. The dried veggie pieces plump up nicely and taste good. Highly recommend.

I absolutely LOVE these. Great for soups, rice, stews, eggs, pasta, chili, whatever you want to add diced vegetables to. Saves shopping and prep time, fridge or freezer space, and MONEY versus buying (and throwing out) fresh vegetables bought to cook anyway. I used to throw out money on leftover, wilted tomatoes, celery, carrots and peppers pretty often, not anymore. And not at what produce costs. Especially now, in February 2025. I have never seen prices for produce like this in my life, so buying a couple of bags of these are a savings account in itself. They are also great for emergency preparedness and camping/backpacking, anywhere space, longevity and weight might be an issue.I've attached photos of the dried & rehydrated product, out of a freshly opened bag. If you don't like carrots, don't buy these. Personally I like the ratio of carrots, onions, celery, tomatoes, cabbage and bell peppers in this blend... it's a very healthy, delicious mix. Having these I find I eat a LOT more vegetables than I used to, almost daily now because I don't have to prep them. One of the best things is that this mixture does NOT have potatoes as a cheap filler ingredient! I don't want potatoes in my rice, chili or pasta or every time I want to add vegetables to a dish. I saw a complaint that they don't instantly rehydrate upon contact with boiling water? It says right on the package to either simmer for 10-15 minutes or soak in cold water until reconstituted. They are not "Instant Cup-A-Soup". If you need them any faster you can always fully or partially rehydrate some and freeze them. Bottom line is that anyone who wants tasty diced vegetables prepped and ready to eat in 10-15 minutes will LOVE these.

I made a big batch of chicken soup today with fresh veggies and accidently over-salted it. I was so glad to have these dehydrated veggies in my pantry! I added a big scoop to my salty soup with some unsalted chicken broth and saved the whole batch quickly. I was surprised at the taste, it tasted almost as fresh as the veggies I spent hours chopping. Stretched the soup enough where I have 10 pints to pressure can for later use. Slightly cheaper per oz. than the other brand I usually buy in the can too. Very happy with purchase and I'm glad I put it on subscribe.

I love my ramen noodles. I put two tablespoons of these freeze dried veggies in with my noodles and it gives an added flavor I find quite pleasing. This 2 pound resealable bag will last me six months or more. I’m not a cook, but I think you could add to a spaghetti sauce for texture.

I didn’t expect to love this dried veggie mix as much as I do, but here we are. The flavor is genuinely good — no weird aftertaste, no “dehydrated” feel, nothing artificial about it. It just tastes like real vegetables that were chopped and dried at their best.A small tip for those who say some pieces stay too firm: you simply need to soak them long enough. Give them a good 15–20 minutes in hot water (plenty of water!), and if you cook them afterward — say, in a soup or stew — they turn out perfectly soft. No hard bits, no chewy surprises. The carrot even keeps a nice little crunch, which makes it feel fresh and gives the mix a gentle, natural sweetness.The flavor overall is balanced and pleasant — works beautifully in soups, stews, omelets, even mixed into rice or oatmeal if you’re feeling creative. Basically, anywhere you’d want a little veggie boost without having to chop or peel anything.This stuff is a lifesaver for quick meals. It doesn’t spoil like fresh veggies hiding in the back of the fridge, it lives happily in the pantry, and it’s always ready to go. Just scoop, soak, and cook. That’s it.In short — great quality, great taste, great convenience. A humble bag of veggies that somehow manages to make life a lot easier. Highly recommend!
