Soup beef bones

Bone broth has been said to have numerous health benefits, such as supporting the gut microbiome, reducing inflammation, and improving the appearance of aging skin. This traditional broth has been popular for centuries across various cultures.

To make bone broth, animal bones (and sometimes meat) are boiled in water. Acidic ingredients like vinegar or tomatoes are often added to help extract more nutrients from the bones. Additionally, vegetable scraps and garlic may be added for flavor. The broth simmers for anywhere from four to over 24 hours, which contributes to the nutrient richness of bone broth.

While more research is needed to determine the specific benefits of bone broth, current research on the nutrients in bone broth is promising.

Demi Glacé, a popular product made from bone broth, pairs well with many dinner dishes.
