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.

What's the difference between bone broth and regular broth,which I make when I make chicken soup?

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.
