Bone Health - Essential for long term health of menopausal women - Preventive food medicine for all
Bone Broth is a kitchen tradition that has been lost. It is rich in minerals (especially easily absorbed calcium), cartilage, marrow and gelatin. Bone broth could be the answer to osteoporosis. It is a great recipe for supporting the structure of your cells.
This recipe uses a crock pot. If you don't have one I recommend getting one. They are very handy especially for busy lives. Crockpots are a great way to have healthy food ready when you get home from work.
You need organic bones, if you have a local organic farmer this is the best way to get your bones.
Recipe:
Place organic beef bones into crockpot; cover with water.
Add 1 whole organic apple
Add 1 whole organic garlic head (unpeeled).
Add 1 whole onion (unpeeled; eliminate if feeding bones to dogs--onions ca be toxic to dogs).
Add 1 tablespoon organic apple cider vinegar
Add handful of organic celery tops
Cook on high for 12 hours
Let cool
Using a slotted spoon, remove veggies, apple, and bones.
Transfer broth to a large bowl, cover, and regrigerate until completely chilled.
Using a perforated skimmer, remove the layer of fat on top and discard (I use the discarded fat in my homemade tortillas). Transfer remaining broth to airtight freezer containers.
Drink a cup a day
You can also use the broth in your favorite soup recipes
