You can bust the myth that vegan food is bland with easy-to-use condiments and add-ins. These collections of savory and sweet flavor bombs are here to inspire seasoned home cooks and beginners alike. Each item featured is a staple meant to last and lends itself to experimentation.

Let’s dig in!

The Savory

Curried Nuts/Seeds (recipe below)

There is nothing worse than a boring salad. Eliminate this possibility by keeping a batch of curried nuts and seeds in your fridge. They also make for a quick, satisfying snack on their own.

Umeboshi Vinegar

Made from the brine of pickled plums, this mouth-watering all-star packs a double whammy of acidic, salty goodness. Start by adding it to rice bowls, then try it on a citrus salad, then tacos. Soon you will be a human hurricane splashing ume vinegar on everything in sight!
