Gut-Healing Bone Broth
Gut-Healing Bone Broth is an incredibly nourishing and flavorful broth that's perfect for sipping on its own or using as a base for soups, stews, and sauces. It's made with just a few simple ingredients, including grass-fed beef or chicken bones, vegetables, herbs, and spices. The long simmering process extracts all the nutrients from the bones and vegetables, creating a broth that's rich in collagen, gelatin, minerals, and electrolytes. Bone broth is a great source of gut-healing nutrients, and it can help to improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity.
The tradition of making bone broth dates back to ancient times, when people would simmer animal bones in water to create a nutritious and flavorful broth. Bone broth was often used as a way to use up leftover bones from meals, and it was also a common remedy for illness and injury. In recent years, bone broth has become increasingly popular as a health food, and it's now widely recognized for its many health benefits.
