Bone broth is a relatively new health food trend, but the idea is not new at all. A bone broth is a more intense version of a traditional stock, with the idea of pulling flavor out of animal bones. Where it differs in the time it takes to cook, as bone broth is just as much about extracting nutrients as it is about flavor. After cooking it for so long, you wil have extracted a lot of collagen, calcium, and many other minerals. Bone broth is said to be great for gut health, problems with joints, and more. If you’re interested in seeing what this craze is all about, make it with the recipe below!
