Why make your broth?

Although you can easily find pre-made vegetable broth at stores, I prefer you make your own at home. If you are weighing your options on whether buying pre-made vegetable stock is better or not, here are a few reasons you should make it at home:

• First and foremost, the homemade vegetable broth is super healthy. All the ingredients you use are fresh, and because you will be the one to buy them, prepare them and cook them, it adds satisfaction that every ingredient is healthy and vegan. So, there is no room for doubt.
• Homemade vegetable broth is free from any kind of preservatives. So, this again adds to your health.
• It is super tasteful. The depth of flavors in homemade vegetable broth is on spot. You will end up with a very tasteful and rich broth.
• You can use up old vegetables that you have in your pantry. This way, these vegetables won’t get wasted.
• You can adjust the flavors, add more ingredients, and adjust the spices and seasonings as per your taste. Most store-bought broths are high in sodium. So, when you make one at home, you can adjust the sodium level as per your requirements. Furthermore, you can make the broth spicy or a bit tangy as per your liking.
• Lastly, homemade vegetable broth is super easy to make. There is no extensive preparation or steps. The stovetop does all the job. The flavors come from simmering the broth on low flame. So, you just have to wait. That’s all.
