Nutritious Health-Booster

After hearing how nourishing bone broth is for your joints, bones, skin, hair and gut health, I became curious enough about this ages old tonic to attempt a try at making it myself. Compiled from a combination of resources, which include a recipe adaptation from Nourishing Traditions, one from my friend Kyle’s Korean master teacher, and some of my own trial and error attempts, I feel confident in sharing my foolproof method with you.

My preparation begins with a trip to the local farmers’ market where I purchase beef bones direct from the local rancher. I choose bones that come from pasture raised cows, not only because the cows are humanely raised but because grass fed animals yield omega 3 rich meats from the grass they eat. I typically purchase 2 pounds of bone and one gelatin-producing knuckle to make 4 quarts of broth.
