Bone broth

[Anonymous]

Has anyone tried it? If so, do you like it and have you seen any health benefits? If so, what brand?

[Anonymous]

OP -- bone broth is just soup. You will not notice health benefits from it. It is a marketing term for chicken or beef stock.

It has a lot of protein but also high in salt. It also has collengen it. (Spelling incorrect?)

It's not just stock, it has more collagen and protein than stock. If you are not getting enough of either of those things, you may feel better adding it to your diet.

Do you have an instant pot? It's very easy to make in one hour at high pressure. I haven't liked the commercial packaged brands very much. Weird mouth feel and taste. The homemade stuff is cool. It setys up like Jell-O in glass main jars in the fridge..

I don’t. I’m not much of a cook and employ short cuts all the time.

Yes this is why I drink it. Protein drinks hurt my stomach since it’s usually whey protein or pea protein. A small container of bone broth has 10g of protein and won’t hurt my stomach. Good for collagen too like you say.

I buy the chicken bone broth from Trader Joe's, and cook with it all the time. I use it to make cous cous, rice, rice pilaf, chicken "soup", etc. Basically anything that would normally have a water base.

Not pasta, because you strain that.

It's easy to make in a crock pot pot, too.

I think I tried one packaged brand and thought it tasted bad. Rather than throwing good money after bad I just decided to stick to broth and stock.

My grandma’s homemade “bone broth,” or just “broth” as normal people called it, was amazing and I wish I knew what exactly she used. (I’ve got the basics of it, I just wasn’t paying attention in my teens to peppercorns? or not, how much celery, how much carrot, etc).
