Back when life was lived with less rush, our thrifty ancestors made use of every part of the animal by preparing stock, broth or bouillon from the bony portions. These portions contained valuable gelatin, marrow and collagen, which are all powerhouses of nutrition. Sadly, many in modern society are unfamiliar with these delicacies and believe soups and broths come in a box, can or powder. Slow cooked broths are used across the world in traditional cuisines and our modern chefs understand that the depth of flavour created during the simmering process cannot be matched.

The health benefits of bone broth are vast and numerous. Almost every culture throughout history has used bone broth to make easily digested, healing soups and stews. It has been used in ancient medicinal practices to boost the immune system, support the digestive system and build and strengthen the blood.

Our ancestors made bone broth soups and stews often to keep sickness at bay.
