Knorr launches a new range of vegan stock pots in the UK

Keen to make cooking up flavoursome vegan dishes at home easier, Unilever has launched a range of vegan stock pots in a variety of flavours inspired by different cuisines from around the world.

The range, which is available to purchase from Morrisons now priced at £1, is comprised of three varieties including smoked chilli and tomato, paprika and sundried tomato, and kaffir lime and ginger.

The news comes after Oxo announced it would be launching a vegan-friendly ‘beef’ stock cubes that add a “complex, meaty taste to meals.”

Speaking to FoodBev Media about the new products, Hazel Detsiny, managing director, Unilever food solutions and vice president, foods and tea, said: “Cooking from scratch is a huge trend right now, as is the desire to eat less meat. People want ideas and help to make sure the new dishes they are creating taste great.

“Our new vegan stock pots are great for this; they add depth of flavour to vegetarian or vegan dishes and the continued growth in the category clearly reflects this.

“These exciting new flavour variants, which reflect the way people are cooking and eating, provide easy ways to add punch to scratch-cooked meals.”
