Why It Works
  • The long simmering time allows the collagen in the bones to break down into gelatin, which gives bone broth its characteristic thick and gelatinous texture.
  • The addition of vegetables and herbs to the broth adds flavor and nutrients.
  • The apple cider vinegar helps to extract minerals from the bones and also adds a bit of acidity to the broth.
  • The salt and pepper season the broth to taste.
