Tidbits on the Benefits of Broths (a.k.a. Liquid Gold :)
Beef bone broth is one of my favorite things to make. It is full of minerals, vitamins, amino-acids and vegetables as electrolytes a form that is easy to assimilate. Bone broths provide dense nutrition which is easily digested and has been know for centuries as a healing folk remedy for the digestive tract. Nothing like a hot mug full after walking my dog Tanner as the weather is a tad wet and cold, it satisfies my whole being right to the core, walla I am nourished
Bone broths have been used to treat many chronic disorders such as Chrone’s disease, colitis, anemia, diabetes, muscular dystrophy and even cancer.
Bone broths are great for those who cannot afford or want to eat large amounts of meat in their diet. Broths are an essential starter to all my dishes, they add not only flavor but minerals and vitamins as noted above.
There are many ways to enjoy my, ‘Liquid Gold’.
- Have a mug full in the am instead of coffee
- Afternoon pick-me-up add some garlic, green onions, spinach, cayenne pepper, turmeric
- Instead of water for your rice, pasta, lentils, beans, quinoa or potato dishes
- Sauté veggies
- Stews, chillies, casseroles and of course soups
