bone broth

searchingfa — Sat, 21 Dec 2019 19:11:48 GMT

can anyone recommend a bone broth that does not have an enormous amount of sodium?

Or, just share what bone broth you use with the lowest amount of sodium you've found?

thanks,

Make your own then you will know what is in it.

Hello! I decided to start making my own after paying $4 a quart and the sodium content was off the chart. I went to YouTube and starting watching videos & it's very easy to make your own...believe it or not. I found a video from Goshen Farm and Gardens (YouTube) that you just use a slow cooker or crock pot with chicken drumsticks. I only have $4 in a gallon now and it's all natural, not to mention, I just add a pinch of salt. Trust me, it's really easy.

It is easy to make. At a cooking school we were taught in a soup class. The chef told us that due to the electrolytes in the broth the sodium content can be high. Read the label for ADDED salt.

I know the one I buy has no added salt but I do not know the salt content. I do know it is about $7.00 a jar.

I tried this brand, it is more of a rich stock than a bone broth. It certainly does not have the collagen content of homemade or other high-quality brands.

If you need bone broth for health purposes this is not the one, but if using only for taste it is nice.

How do you know this? I have some of this and see no collagen content listed.

I prefer the homemade broth sold at my food co-op, made at a local farm, but I don't know what the collagen content of that one is either. I just know that it's very good and costs twice as much.

Just curious.

with true bone broth, you roast the bones (or chicken feet) first and then cook/simmer for many hours to get the collagen to release. When purchasing commercially made, make sure the packaging specifically states that it's made from slow roasted bones or it's not real bone broth, as opposed to throwing some chicken, celery, carrots, and onions in a pot and cooking it until the chicken is done.

Remember when soup bones were available at the butcher? I guess we all used to make bone broth by default.

They still are available. The price is much higher than my mother remembers. I buy grass fed organic beef bones from a local butcher. My mother was shocked when she heard the price. LOL

Sodium naturally occurs in most foods, so check a nutrition chart for the amount from each of the ingredients you add. I make stock for soup and I never add any salt. My DH is a heart patient and I find the salty taste is adequate if I use the drums and thighs from the chicken and the broth is richer. Don't forget to cook twice as there is more marrow from the second cooking than the first. Marrow is what is good for you if you low in blood, iron or vitamins.

Costco sells Golden Ladle Chicken Bone Broth that is a real bone broth, as opposed to the Pacific brand. The price is pretty good, too - 6 cartons for around $15. The Kettle & Fire brand gets a lot of positive reviews but it's pretty expensive, from what I hear. I can't find it in my region.

Ah, I don't think I've let it sit to cool. I've only used it for soup and there haven't been leftovers.

Anyhoo, I do like my local food co-op's bone broth, it's made at a local farm that I am familiar with. Great product but quite pricey. I don't mind, I'd rather buy quality and I like to support local farms that I actually am familiar with.
