Bone Broth Benefits and Recipe
Bone broth has many benefits and I regularly make it for myself and my clients. I ask my butcher to chop up free range marrow bone for preparing a wholesome stock.
Bone Broth Benefits
- Bone marrow is high in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids
- It’s important for gut health and supports the immune system by carrying oxygen to cells
- It speeds up the healing process of fractures and maintains healthy bones as well as improving brain function
- It has calcium, silicon, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, manganese, sulphur chondroitin, selenium, glucosamine
- It also has lipids such as alkylglycerols for serious immune system problems
Bone Broth Recipe
Make sure the bone is cut in smaller pieces and slow cook for a few hours or use pressure cooker.
Add onion, bay leaf, carrots, celery, parsley, a few cloves and juniper berries for extra flavour.
Let cool and refrigerate so you can take off the majority of the fat.
Leave the marrow fat which will be under the fat cover.
It is important to not remove all fat.
Rest assured, your body needs animal fat for maximum health.
Important note: When preparing any bone stock, only use bones from grass-fed cows, lamb or organic chicken.
