WHAT SOUNDS LIKE MEAT WATER IS PURE, LIQUID GOLD

Even our hunter-gatherer ancestors realized that drinking bone broth was like striking nutritional gold, as its earliest version dates back over 2,500 years. Throwing away any part of the animal back then was out of the question, so hooves, knuckles, bones, and any other part you could imagine never went to waste. Bone broth has a rich history of being used in traditional Chinese medicine as a digestive tonic, blood builder, and kidney strengthener due to the high collagen content, bioavailable minerals, anti-inflammatory amino acids, and healing compounds that can only be found in bones and connective tissue.

BONE BROTH IS WHAT YOUR BODY HAS BEEN ASKING FOR

Packed with nutrients that can give you back your energy and motivation, help you sleep better, and make your skin look smoother, soer, and more supple, bone broth is an all-in-one superfood that you can’t aord to miss out on.

Bones and connective tissue are storehouses for essential amino acids and minerals — many of which we don’t get enough of in our diets today. But bones also the only known source of the beneficial protein, type II collagen and gelatin.

Type II collagen has gained plenty of recognition for improving the appearance of skin— which is why bone broth is one of the best foods you can eat to combat aging. But collagen is also found in the nooks and crannies of your body, such as your bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and teeth.

Type II collagen is needed for:

• Repairing torn cartilage
• Relieving joint pain
• Soothing an inflamed digestive tract
• Strengthening the gut lining
• Maintaining bone density
• Boosting immunity
• Improving sleep quality

Since you don’t snack on whole bones and tissue, you can unlock the powerful nutrients from the bones by boiling them into a tasty broth.

HOW BONE BROTH IS MADE

Making bone broth is a simple process, but one that requires plenty of time and patience (which is why we’ve done it for you).

Bone broth is made by simmering any kind of animal bone and tissue for at least 10 hours with veggies, herbs, and spices such as thyme, garlic, and bay leaves. We always say that killer bones = killer broth because grass fed and organic bones yield the most nutrient-rich broths. And while any bone or ligament will do the trick, knuckles, feet, and femur bones tend to contain the most collagen.

The slow simmer time of bone broth is crucial for all of the beneficial proteins, minerals, and compounds to be released from the bones. This also makes the nutrients incredibly easy for your body to absorb, so they can go where you need them most.

Is Bone Broth the Same as Regular Broth or Stock?

 No.

Regular broths and stocks don’t follow the long simmer time that bone broth does, which means they won’t contain as much collagen (if any at all), or any of the other unique nutrients that make bone broth a true superfood.

WHY OUR BONE BROTH?

Before Kettle and Fire was born, one of our co-founders, Nick, tore his ACL playing soccer (ouch). His brother Justin had heard about the benefits of bone broth for speeding up injury recovery time. So, he set out to buy a high-quality, grass-fed bone broth, since both of their busy schedules didn’t leave much time to make the broth themselves. (You can learn more about our story here.)

Regardless of how hard Justin looked, the ideal bone broth didn’t exist. He was searching for one that was 100% organic, fresh — never frozen — grass-fed, and slow simmered (as well as one that could be shipped without wasteful, clunky packaging). So, Nick and Justin decided to create a high-quality bone broth on their terms, which is the recipe we’re proud to offer you today.
