BEYOND the KITCHEN
Other uses of Marigold Swiss Vegetable Bouillon
After distributing Marigold
Health Food products for 25
years now, we reckon that
friends within the health food
world will have - at the very
least - heard about products
such as our Swiss Vegetable
Bouillon, in both powder form
and cubes. And how convenient
it is to have at hand in the
kitchen as a cook’s companion
to add to so many savoury
Sailing
dishes.
What people might not be so familiar
with is how and where it can also be
used outside the home.
Convalescing
When my sister was convalescing
in hospital after an operation,
she had a very jaded palate. At a
particularly fussy time for her taste
buds (perhaps it’s the aftermath of
a general anaesthetic), she really
enjoyed the taste of a hot drink made
from a teaspoon of Marigold powder
in a mug of hot water.
All four of my step-daughters are
mad keen sailors. After a difficult
struggle with wild weather, a warm
nourishing drink is very welcome.
That’s where a thermos of hot
bouillon can come in handy. Easy to
prepare on dry land or at sea, and
very comforting.
Detoxing and cleansing
These days, many of us regularly
cut down our intake of coffee or
caffeinated tea during a cleanse, for
instance. It’s been said that Marigold
bouillon is “probably the most
delicious caffeine-free hot drink
you’ll ever taste”, and detox-ers and
cleansers will support that! What an
excellent alternative, adding tasty
variety to the hot drink options.
Spectator sports
Whether you’re a spectator or a
player, a hot drink at half time gives
everyone a positive attitude to the
game. Just the thing to take to the
footie on a cold winter’s day, or to
produce for the team at the school
basketball match, or even as a (non-
alcoholic) apres ski drink.
Camping and travelling
‘Happy campers’ find a teaspoon of
bouillon powder, or a cube, in boiling
water, makes such a nutritious drink!
It doesn’t need the addition of milk or
sugar, like tea or coffee. On any trip,
it’s easy to take along a supply of
the cubes or the powdered bouillon
in a small container. Friends who
drove 8,500kms to Uluru on their
motorbikes took Marigold bouillon
along for the ride and said: “It was
the best, most hearty and nourishing
drink after a long hard day on the
road”.
