Any of you felllas drinking this stuff? My buddy drinks it religiously. 10g protein per cup.
My wife makes it from beef/deer/elk bones.... it's fine but not sure I buy into the miracle juice that some tout it as
Same, I cook it down til its reduced to unpalatable strength, then freeze it into cubes. Bunch of roasted bones, some herbs and veggies, splash of wine (Most commercial ones use vinegar to help break stuff down in the bones but wine tastes better)I make it with my deer and wild turkey bones. I freeze it in 2"x 2" cubes to use in cooking, drinking and smoothies. Good stuff.
God Bless.
I'm with you... it's just broth.
I mean it's delicious but it's still just broth.
It's not miracle juice, but it's healthy
You get a lot of nutrients you many not get out of a regular diet, including collagen and all the goodness in the marrow, it's good for the gut too.
...in reference to the stuff you make yourself with all sorts of 'useless' bits....dunno about the powdered stuff...I prefer to stay away from processed stuff.
Yes and no..... This is just relaying her justifications to me so take it for what its worth. It differs from standard broth because of cook time. You can boil stock down to broth in a short amount of time but to make true, healthy bone broth (whereas you reap some health benefits) the bones have to cook low and slow for much longer. I know she's got a set of bones in a slowcooker full of water for 24-36 hours. Evidentally the difference is when doing it quick, the nutrients aren't pulled out of the bones like they are when cooked over time. She also turns her nose up at any of the commercial, store sold stuff..... Apparently it's not made with the same care or quality as when you make it yourself and are able to cook it longer (according to her).
again, I haven't taken the time or interest to look into the science. This is just regurgitated from her talking about it. I just have to run bones through a saw to get them to manageable size and end up using a fair amount of stock for soup so it's a win-win in my house.
