Garden Deluxe Vegetable Soup Mix by It’s Delish, 5 Lbs Bulk Bag | 16 Natural Dehydrated Vegetables for Ramen Noodles, Soup Greens with Beets | Freeze Dried Veggie Blend, No MSG, Vegan, Kosher

5 lbs dehydrated is an incredible amount of vegetables. Actually a great value and will last my family a long time.

It's delicious and easy to prepare.

It's Delish Garden Deluxe Vegetable Soup Mix is made up of 5lbs of bright confetti colored, finely shaved, and diced sized vegetables with a fine green powder. This is an ideal product to add to homemade meals in order to increase the amount of vegetables to your daily diet. When I added the vegetables to the ramen noodles that I was cooking on the stovetop, the majority of the vegetables cooked quickly but I was surprised to find there were small cubes that were on the al dente side. I would later learn that the cubes were diced cubes of potatoes and sweet potatoes. This is the first time that I have had vegetable soup mix that included not one but two types of potatoes. I was also surprised to find the inclusion of pumpkin. The beets added not only an earthy flavor but also colored the broth a pink color. Because of the incision of these vegetables, it was a little more challenging to hide it in dishes that I usually add dried vegetables to like spaghetti sauce or scrambled eggs. I included these dried vegetables in an egg scramble but found that the potatoes were unable to reconstitute as easily as some of the other ingredients like onion and bell peppers. The easiest way to use the product is adding it to stovetop ramen noodles, canned soup, or homemade soup. The ingredients are clean, pronounceable, and recognizable including carrots, spinach, zucchini, green & yellow cabbage, broccoli, orange sweet potato, purple sweet potato, pumpkin cubes, red beet, green string bean, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, celery, and tomato flakes. It is a vegan, vegetarian, kosher, and pareve product. It was Packed in the USA and has a best by date of 31 months from the date that I received it. It would be ideal to have in the pantry, take with you when camping, or include in an earthquake preparation kit to always have access to a variety of vegetables. I wish that the manufacturer had placed the vegetables in a resealable plastic bag as it would be easier to access and store. I hope that they change this in future efforts.

I can't say it is bad at all. All I can really say is it is VERY sweet. I guess that's a good thing since it really that is just me tasting the natural flavors of the vegetables. I guess I went in expecting blandness like you'd normally see with dehydrated veggies in ramen and such.
