Concentrated veg juice?
Ken
heavy bottles of mostly water home from the grocery. Does there exist
concentrated veg juice - on the shelf or frozen? I've looked but all I
have seen are frozen fruit juices.
TIA

You pretty much need a juicing machine, the only vegetable juice
available in concentrate is tomato (and tomato is actually a fruit).

V-8 used to produce a frozen concentrate. I don't know if they still do.
It might be worth asking at the supermarket.

That's a great idea! I've been lugging around cases of seltzer,
do you think that comes in concentrate, too?

The brand is Tiny Bubbles. Look for it in the wine section.

Hey thanks for the headsup! I too like veg juice but it's expensive in
those large bottles and even more expensive in the little cans. Will
have a look locally this week and see.
Wayne Boatwright
I am assuming they still make it, Arri. I know they once did as I use to
buy the concentrate. Hope you find it.

This does not mean to imply that you can buy it retail, but isn't
some/most vegetable juice (I'm talking about blends like V-8) as you buy
it made from concentrate?

I checked their web site and find no mention of this product being
available. It probably wasn't as profitable as charging for the bottles and
cans...

You can get a seltzer bottle, which uses CO2 cartidges.

Actually, I have one. I was just thinking the other day, I need

I don't remember there ever being a V-8 concentrate, frozen or
otherwise... and I too checked their web site, there's no mention of
any kind of concentrate... Duh'Wayne just made that up.
When checking the ingredients used to produce V-8 it's quite obvious
that it's really a flavored tomato juice product rather than a true
vegetable juice. If one wants to take the time and make the effort
it's pretty easy to make one's own by processing the flavoring
ingredients with some water in a blender and then straining out the
fiberous parts if desired and stirring the resultant juice with tomato
paste and water. For a true vegetable juice a juicing machine is
necessary. Personally I'd rather spend my resources on a fresh salsa,
a far more nutritious and tastier product. To me V-8's only useful
purpose is as an alcoholic bevrage mixer. Anyways, add a pinch of
celery salt to any tomato juice and you'd be hard pressed to determine
it's not V-8
Upon reading the ingredients in V-8 one wonders if it's not a hyped up
way to sell the wilted bits from the dumpster behind any produce
market... other than tomato the only other ingredient I taste is
celery... and they probably add a wee bit of beet juice for deeper
color and to keep a certain MN vamp away. <g>

One could always purchase the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer from the Home
Shopping Network Infomercial :) http://tinyurl.com/3e6g6n

Any good juicer will do, and are probably better than his product. During
tomato season, my parents used to make a tomato juice cocktail using a
juicer that they would pressure can in quart jars. We always had enough
for a year. My mother never used a recipe. I sure wish I could duplicate
it.

TY but maybe won't have any success. It is likely more profitable for
them to sell the ready-mixed stuff.
Wayne Boatwright
There are many products that have gone by the wayside, for whatever reason.
Campbell's used to make a line of frozen soups that were concentrated and
very fresh tasting. I recall one in particular, because I used to use it
as a base for a dip. It was a frozen shrimp bisque. Their frozen soups
were probably the best products they ever made, but pricier. This was back
in the 1960s, and folks probably didn't want to pay more than what they
were accustomed to paying for a canned version. The canned shrimp bisque
they replaced it with was an abomination.

Isn't that just the way it is? Seems any time I find a product I
particularly love they stop making it. For non-food things (like a specific
shade of lipstick LOL) I buy two or three of whatever because I just *know*
it will disappear from the shelves. Unfortunately I don't have room to
stock up on specific food items to last for years!

Kraft quit making their bottles of limburger cheese. I loved it. I've not
found a replacement. No limburger anywhere in the stores I've tried.

For making a quick and acceptable pizza, Contadina used to sell
pizza sauce in a squeeze bottle. Tho' I saw it a month ago, I
couldn't find it yesterday.

Bummer. I used to buy that. I think the last time was this past
Christmas. There was only one store I could find it at. I'm going back
there to see if they replaced it with something else.

In a crock? I saw that when I was in SC. I remember my father bringing it
home from some base commissary we lived on, too.

Yep, it used to available in a crock, but haven't seen that in decades.

That's what I used to buy. Sorry to hear they've stopped making it. It
was my favorite limburger.
