Oddly enough, I just bought some of the Kitchen Basics vegetable stock for
the first time last night, because I had to make a vegetarian soup and
needed to save time. (I also wanted wheat-free.) It certainly isn't salty,
but is is sweet. Naturally so, I gather--at least, it tastes real. Vegetable
stocks, even this one, don't really do it for me, though.
