Animal bones and connective tissues are simmered for 12 to 24 hours to make bone broth. Even though it might seem like a long process, it's a labour of love.  It helps extract vital minerals, collagen and nutrients, producing an extremely rich and nourishing broth.

Key Ingredients in Bone Broth:

🥩 Bones: Organic Grass-fed beef, lamb or free-range chicken bones
💧 Water: Essential component for the slow extraction of nutrients.

🥕 Vegetables & Herbs: Added for extra depth of flavour and nutrition.

You are free to experiment and add your own spices, vegetables, and twists to suit your taste buds; the main ingredients listed above are simply the most basic components of broth.

Because bone broth is simmered for a longer period of time than ordinary stock, it has a higher collagen content and a deeper flavour.
