Frequently asked questions
-
a great way to start feeling the benefits of broth is to incorporate it into your daily routine, as part of a balanced diet. Broth can form the base of a delicious soup, cooked stew or Bolognese or even a hot drink inbetween mealtimes. Boost its nutritional value even further by adding grains, lentils, pulses, spices and herbs.
-
There is some evidence to suggest anti-inflammatory qualities of chicken broth for sinus and respiratory infections, as well as some evidence to suggest bone broth also helps the lining of the gut, aid joints, muscles and bones as well as overall skin, hair and nail health due to the collagen within. Bone broth is a healthy addition to a balanced diet - research indicates that it’s the protein in broth that’s the main advantage to our health. This protein is broken down into collagen which promotes elasticity for firm smooth skin and glycine and glutamine which both promote a healthy immune system and gut lining. Adding vegetables towards to the end of the cooking time is a great way to increase its minerals and vitamin content.
-
Organic bone broth is made by simmering the bones and connective tissue of organic animals, the broth can then be drank from a mug on its own or used to make soups, sauces or gravies. Whilst drinking bone broth has become popular as a health hack in recent times, the use of broth actually dates back to prehistoric times, when hunter-gatherers turned otherwise inedible animal parts like bones, hooves and knuckles into a broth they could drink. At Coombe Farm Organic we're proud to sell Borough Broth Co bone broths. Slow cooked to a secret recipe using organic bones, pure spring water, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and plenty of care and attention, these broths taste deeply delicious and are a great way to keep your gut happy.
