Maggi is a Nestlé brand of instant soups, stocks, bouillon cubes, ketchups, sauces, seasonings and instant noodles. The original company came into existence in 1872 in Switzerland, when Julius Maggi
took over his father's mill. He quickly became a pioneer of industrial
food production, aiming to improve the nutritional intake of worker
families. Maggi was the first to bring protein-rich legume meal to the
market, and followed up with a ready-made soup based on legume meal in
1886. In 1897, Julius Maggi founded the company Maggi GmbH in the German town of Singen where it is still established today.
In parts of Europe, Mexico, Malaysia, Brunei, German-speaking countries and the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland and France, "Maggi" is still synonymous with the brand's "Maggi-Würze" (Maggi seasoning sauce), a dark, hydrolysed vegetable protein based sauce which is very similar to East Asian soy sauce except for that it does not actually contain soy. It was introduced in 1886, as a cheap substitute for meat extract. It has since become a well-known part of everyday culinary culture in Switzerland, Austria and especially in Germany. It is also well known in Poland and the Netherlands.
