About VegeLIO:
VegeLIO is a mother and daughter who decided to introduce full-flavored freeze-dried vegetables to Polish tables in the form of a variety of healthy, tasty blends. Our main idea, which we bring into our lives every day, is healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. The idea itself was born during the pandemic, when access to various products was very limited. We were looking for something tasty and at the same time full of vitamins, minerals, nutritional value, which would allow us to prepare a variety of meals quickly and conveniently. And that’s how we came up with a mix of 9 freeze-dried vegetables and 3 freeze-dried herbs, with a dash of clay salt, turmeric and pepper – VegeLIO.
The vegetables in VegeLIO are crunchy and aromatic, the herbs add depth of flavor and aroma, and the spices complete the whole composition. VegeLIO is ideal for people who want to eat healthily, and at the same time appreciate the convenience and ease of preparing meals. The mixture comes in the form of chunks and flakes, which allows them to be used quickly and easily in a variety of dishes.
VegeLIO is a flavor enhancer, a quick vegetable broth, an extra serving of vegetables in the diet and crunchy vegetables straight from the jar. With no added preservatives or flavor enhancers, contains only naturally occurring sugars, high in dietary fiber, a source of protein, ultralight, tasty, healthy, with a long shelf life. All vegetables and herbs come from Polish farmers and are freeze-dried by Polish companies. The product is packaged in a jar made of 100% recycled PET plastic.
Each of us has always quietly dreamed of our own business, and a joint, family-owned, women-owned business has become the quintessential example.
