Healing Bone Broth for Gut Health & Vitality
Bone broth is a powerhouse of nutrients, offering a wealth of benefits for overall health and wellness. Packed with collagen, amino acids, and essential minerals, it supports joint health, skin elasticity, gut healing and immune health.
The gelatine in bone broth helps to soothe the digestive tract, making it a wonderful choice for those experiencing gut imbalances or seeking to enhance digestion. Rich in glycosaminoglycans like glucosamine, it also aids in reducing inflammation and promoting healthy joints.
Sipping on warm bone broth not only nourishes the body but is also a simple, comforting way to boost your health from the inside out.
DID YOU KNOW?
The addition of chicken feet to your bone broth can make it wonderfully gelatinous?
Chicken feet are rich in collagen, a protein that, when cooked, breaks down into gelatin, giving the broth a rich and silky texture. Gelatin also offers numerous health benefits including supporting joint health, improving skin elasticity, and strengthening hair and nails.
Ingredients:
Chicken carcass (I like to use 2)
Filtered water (fill pot 1 inch above bones/vegetables)
Splash of apple cider vinegar (to extract more nutrients from the bones)
1 tsp good quality Celtic sea salt
1 tsp peppercorns
1-2 carrots, roughly chopped
2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
1 onion, cut into quarters
Optional (nutritional!) additions:
6-8 chicken feet and/or chicken necks
Method:
Roast raw chicken bones, feet and/or necks, this helps to enhance flavour.
Add all ingredients to your pot and add filtered water until it reaches an inch above your ingredients.
Simmer for 3+ hours.
Use it in family meals or simply enjoy a comforting cup of broth on its own! I love adding a squeeze of fresh lemon—delicious!
