Veggie Stock Or Water

Veggie stock or water is a cooking liquid used to add moisture and, in the case of stock, mild vegetable-derived flavor. Water provides hydration without nutrients, while vegetable stock may contribute small amounts of minerals depending on preparation.

Beneficial properties

hydrating low in calories supports cooking and flavoring can be low in fat

Nutritional highlights

Water contains no meaningful nutrients, while vegetable stock may provide small amounts of sodium, potassium, and trace minerals but is not typically a significant nutrient source.

Caution. Vegetable stock can be high in sodium, which may be a concern for people following sodium-restricted diets.
