This week’s recipe has been all the rage lately, and “bone broth carts” are even popping up in major cities. Despite the trendiness of bone broth, it is an ancient food consumed by many traditional societies for thousands of years. It contains tons of healthy minerals, as well as collagen and other nutrients, and has been touted as great for the joints, immune system, and digestive system. It takes a while to cook, but is easy to throw together and can be left on the stove to simmer while you do other things.
How should you use it? This deliciously flavorful broth can take the place of any other broth called for in your regular recipes, and can also be used for sauteing foods, and even for drinking plain when you need a cup of something hot and satisfying!
Remember for all bone broths, you should always use organic meat bones when at all possible, to avoid any chemicals or toxins that may be released from the bones of animals raised in feedlots and fed an unhealthy diet.
