How i prepare beef broth



 beef broth

chuck in whatever leftover vegetables that u have.


after boiling in the crockpot for a night, i found white radish the next morning so i dumped it in as well.
gives a very aromatic stock!

i always cook a whole pot of crockpot and keep the remaining soup in the fridge.


how to use the broth?

see this plate of vege, throw them into the broth and let it simmer.

best if u have ceramic pots like these.
i've bought but they havent reached my hands.

why do we need to prepare bone broth for more than 24 hours?


beef bones differ from the other bones in that u have to roast the bones before putting them into the crockpot.

u can use other bones such as pork or chicken.

best if u can get the bones with lots of marrow and u can throw in some chicken feet for the gelatin.

do not remove the skin.

do not discard the layer of oil formed on top of the soup.

they are healthy oil if u use genuine kampung chicken or grass-fed cow.



i try to be consistent in preparing bone soup for KJ and now i need them too for we both need to increase our calcium intake.

KJ : to remineralize his decayed teeth
Me: im breastfeeding

the power ingredient is APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.
the acv leeches out the minerals from the bones into the water.

i prepared my bone soup from Nourished Kitchen recipe and the Nourishing Cook.



it’s a lost art.  
As the bones cook in water – especially if that water has been made slightly acidic by the inclusion of cider vinegar – minerals and other nutrients leach from the bones into the water.   Homemade broth is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and other trace minerals.   The minerals in broth are easily absorbed by the body.   Bone broth even contains glucosamine and chondroiton – which are thought to help mitigate the deletorious effects of arthritis and joint pain.     Rather than shelling out big bucks for glucosamine-chondroitin and mineral supplements, just make bone broth and other nutritive foods a part of your regular diet.
Further, homemade bone broths are often rich in gelatin.   Gelatin is an inexpensive source of supplementary protein.   Gelatin also shows promise in the fight against degenerative joint disease.   It helps to support the connective tissue in your body and also helps the fingernails and hair to grow well and strong.
