SPICES VILLAGE Dried Ramen Toppings, Dehydrated Vegetables, 16 oz, Kosher

This is a great product. I liked the variety of veggies in the mix. Its texture is just like that of any dried veggies you get in dip packets, dried soup mixes and pasta mixes. I found so many uses for this from soups, pastas and dips. For dips it is really great because sometimes if you make a dip from scratch it might turn out not as thick as you wish. These dried veggies will absorb some of that moisture while they soften. So you are adding great flavor and thickening at the same time. That said, make sure you do not add it dry to something with little extra moisture. It will not rehydrate well and stay chewy. When I was using in a situation with little moisture I just put some of the dried veggies in a bowl, added some water and then dumped excess water off after hydration. While it is a bit expensive, I am single and do not really go through tons of it at a time. I like having it when I cook the carcass of my rotisserie chicken just in case I do not have frozen or fresh veggies around. It is a quality product and you can actually tell and taste that you have added it to your creation. Honestly if you like veggie soup, do not keep tons of fresh veggies on hand and do not mind the cost it would be a great choice because you definitely can taste the different veggies in the mix.

Excellent taste & quality. Texture is identical to fresh veggies when cooked. Rehydrates in about 7 minutes of cooking. I simmer in the ramen broth a few minutes before adding the noodles. A good value and convenient to have on hand. One concern: Nutritional Facts on the package are incorrect (see photo). “Serving size 8 cup (100 grams)”. 100 grams does not equal 8 cups. 8 cups of anything is not a serving size. Calories are incorrect. Amount per serving: 4 gm fat = 36 calories; 15 gm carbohydrates = 60 calories; 2 gm protein = 8 calories. Total calories per serving = 104 calories. Package claims 380 calories per serving. Label says the 1 pound package provides 4 servings. It’s highly unlikely that 16 ounces of dried vegetables is only 4 servings. I use 1/3 cup for 2 servings of ramen and will probably get 12 or more servings from the package. Anyhow fix the math because a pound goes way further than you claim!

Be sure to hydrate before adding to a recipe. Just add water & microwave a couple of minutes. Adds nice touch to ramen, mashed potatoes & other hot dishes. A little goes a long way.

Excellent, ot taste delicious!! I SHALL PURCHASE MORE

These were surprisingly really good. I was also expecting a small amount like with other brands, but this was actually a pretty big bag. What I like about these dehydrated vegetables in particular is the bell peppers, because it gives off a little bit of sweetness. Because I like spicy ramen, this combination makes for a wonderful sweet and spicy flavor. Would absolutely recommend and buy these again.

Good flavor but don't rehydrate fast enough for me. I put in boiling water for a few minutes then added ramen. After ramen cooked vegetable flakes slightly crunchy. Ramen cooks in 2-3 minutes. If I have to hydrate toppings for 15-20 minutes, I can't be bothered with them. Might be good added to soups. Wouldn't buy again.

I like this product very much, I've bought it several times. I like to use it to flavor soups and rice and ramen.

I add this to my ramen every time !
