It is made by boiling the bones of an animal for a long period (overnight, or even for over 24 hours) in order to extract all the <strong>minerals<\/strong> and <strong>nutrients<\/strong>. Bones are usually roasted first to improve the flavor, and the resulting broth can be sipped on its own, or used in any recipe that calls for stock or broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Bone broth<\/em><\/strong> contains gelatin and amino acids, which are excellent for <em>rebuilding tissue<\/em>. It can <a href=\"http:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/5888\/how-to-make-bone-broth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">help connective tissue like joints and ligaments<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are claims that <em>bone broth<\/em> can help get rid of cellulite, reduce wrinkles, and heal gut lining (see the <a href=\"http:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/5888\/how-to-make-bone-broth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GAPS diet<\/a>), but the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/bone-broth-health-benefits-2014-11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jury is out<\/a> on whether those claims are true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While bone broth is probably not a miracle food that will erase your wrinkles overnight, <strong>getting amino acids and <\/strong><a href=\"\/pure-encapsulations-ultranutrient\/\"><strong>minerals could definitely have long-term health benefits<\/strong>.<\/a> It is also <strong>low-calorie, high protein, and it can reduce waste<\/strong>. Bones that may have otherwise been thrown out at your local butcher shop can get put to good use by making a rich bone broth to freeze and have on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Quality Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any other food, try to get the <strong>best quality<\/strong> possible. Choose bones from grass-fed cattle, bison or lamb, pastured chickens, or wild-caught fish. Use organic vegetables, especially for the vegetables that are on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ewg.org\/foodnews\/list.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Environmental Working Group&#8217;s Dirty Dozen list<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1>Basic Bone Broth Recipe<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h4><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>Ingredients:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>2 pounds of bones<\/li><li>1 onion<\/li><li>2 carrots<\/li><li>2 stalks of celery<\/li><li>1 bunch of parsley<\/li><li>2 cloves of garlic<\/li><li>8 cups of water (more if needed)<\/li><li>2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar<\/li><li>sea salt and pepper to taste<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>Directions:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>1. If you are using raw bones, especially beef bones, it improves flavor to roast them in the oven first. Place them in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes at 350.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Place the bones in a large stockpot. Pour (filtered) water over the bones and add the vinegar. Let sit for 20-30 minutes in the cool water. The acid helps make the nutrients in the bones more available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. While the bones are soaking, roughly chop the vegetables. After the 20-30 minutes are up, add the vegetables (except the parsley and garlic, if using) to the pot. Add any salt, pepper, spices, or herbs, if using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Bring the broth to a boil. Then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook, covered, for the time allotted below it boiling on a stove. If using a slow cooker, cook covered on low for 8-24 hours:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Beef broth\/stock: 48 hours<\/li><li>Chicken or poultry broth\/stock: 24 hours<\/li><li>Fish broth: 8 hours<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>5. During the first few hours of simmering, you\u2019ll need to remove the impurities that float to the surface. A frothy\/foamy layer will form and we can easily scoop it off with a big spoon. Throw this part away. Check it every 20 minutes for the first 2 hours to remove this. Also, occasionally add more water if needed to keep bones and vegetables submerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. During the last 30 minutes, add the garlic and parsley, if using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Strain using a fine metal strainer to remove all the bits of bone and vegetable. When cool enough, store in a gallon size glass jar in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for later use. Note: when chilled, broth will become gelatinous because of the collagen content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sign Up for a <strong>Free Consultation<\/strong> with our Expert Nutritionist at\u00a0<a href=\"tel:4042669165\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>(404) 266-9165<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Ask for Mike!<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[wps_products product_id=&#8221;1636671324195&#8243; html_template=&#8221;product.php&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bone broth is a nourishing food in many different traditions around the world.
