Nourishing Bone Broth

This is an absolute staple recipe for supporting your health – particularly if you suffer with any autoimmune disease, digestive problems or have recently taken medications like antibiotics which can compromise the gut lining.

Bone broth provides bio-available forms of calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and other minerals. It is rich in gelatine and collagen to support the health of the gut lining.  A healthy gut lining is important for our immune system health and for keeping inflammation in check. Any organic bones can be used – I like those available from Green Pastures Farm.  They also supply marrow bones too. The addition of garlic not only adds flavour but is a valuable immune- supporting ingredient too.  The longer you can simmer the bones the better. I will often start this in the morning and cook it all day – just check the liquid and keep topping up with water as needed.  Once cooled you can store this in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze in portions.
