Home Made Organic Bone Broth. Why do I love it? As the bones cook in water – especially if that water has been made slightly acidic by the inclusion of cider vinegar – minerals and other nutrients leach from the bones into the water. Homemade broth is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and other trace minerals. The minerals in broth are easily absorbed by the body. Bone broth even contains glucosamine and chondroiton – which are thought to help mitigate the deletorious effects of arthritis and joint pain. Rather than shelling out big bucks for glucosamine-chondroitin and mineral supplements, just make bone broth and other nutritive foods a part of your regular diet. Further, homemade bone broths are often rich in gelatin. Gelatin is an inexpensive source of supplementary protein. Gelatin also shows promise in the fight against degenerative joint disease. It helps to support the connective tissue in your body and also helps the fingernails and hair to grow well and strong. I have at least one cup of bone broth per day. I buy some soup bones from the Organic Butcher in Coorparoo, i fill the pot with boiled (cooled) water and 1/4 cup of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (with mother included) i add the bones and leave to sit for 15 mins. While the bones and water are sitting i cut up 2 brown onions, organic celery with leaves, 1 bunch of parsley and 3 organic carrots. I add everything to the pot. Bring to boil with lid on. Remove any scum that gathers on the top. Simmer for 48 hours ( 24 for chicken broth) Bring to boil for further 2 hours with lid off. As my bone broth is cooking i take a cup here and there and just drink it. Once you have cooked your broth you can drain and package up in freezer to use as stock of you can put in the fridge and have a cup a day to improve gut health. You can also make this in the slow cooker if that is easier than a pot.
