Vecon

Vecon is the brand of a concentrated vegetable stock, used for flavouring dishes. It is popular amongst vegetarians, as it can be used to replace other stock in soups, stews, etc. It is fortified with a number of vitamins that are rarer in vegetarian or vegan diets, including iron and vitamin B₁₂.

It is also used, sparingly, as a spread much like Natex or Marmite is on toast.
