Jul 26 Bone Broth

Bone Broth has many nutrients your body needs. There are many reasons to sip on some bone broth such as: it is nutritional, taste great on a cold day, helps when fasting and provides collagen.

Bone broth is a high nutrient dense food which is great to help fight colds, provides minerals such as calcium, magnesium and amino acids. Since bone broth contains the minerals from the bones, cartilage, marrow, and vegetables the body can easily use as electrolysis and the gut can easily absorb the content.

Some folks will ask, “Why do I need to make bone broth when I can buy it at the grocery store?” After all bone broth is sold in “healthy” grocery stores. My response is to avoid processed foods and unnecessary ingredients. Plus bone broth always taste so much better when made at home as you can always adjust your seasoning to taste.

Personally, I like bone broth because of the health benefits such as: cartilage reduces inflammation and collagen supports healthy joints, hair and skin.

When cooled the broth should turn into a gelatin which means the thicker the broth the more nutrients it has. If the broth does not turn into a gelatin then you should either reduce the amount of water used or cook longer.

Once cooled you can store in the refrigerator for a few days or place in freezer. Mine only last about 2 days max in my household.
