Coffee is a popular morning drink, but it is far inferior in terms of health benefits to bone broth.
Nutritionists claim that this way of starting the day will help you forget about many health problems.
Bone or collagen broth is also called the “drink of long-livers.”
In terms of cooking, it cannot be called simple, but it is incredibly popular among healthy lifestyle adherents, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert at the online publication TUT NOVOSTI.
Beef bone broth soothes digestive problems and clears skin rashes.
In addition, it contains a lot of protein and has a high energy value. One cup contains up to 40 kcal versus 2 kcal in the same portion of coffee.
But bone broth, like coffee, is also not suitable for everyone. For example, hypertensive patients. The dish contains a lot of sodium, which can exacerbate the problem.
The following ingredients are used to prepare this classic dish:
- marrow bones 1.5 kg (can be replaced with any other to taste);
- table vinegar 20 ml;
- onion 1 pc.;
- carrot 1 pc.;
- spices to taste.
Method of preparation
First, you need to prepare the bones and bake them in the oven for an hour along with the peeled vegetables.
Next, the bones are placed in a saucepan and filled with water. You also need to add vinegar. This is an important component that will help remove the necessary macronutrients from the bones.
The bones are cooked over medium heat. When the liquid boils, the flame should be reduced to minimum and cooked for about 6 more hours.
Then you need to bring it to a boil again, add vegetables and spices, and then strain.
You can prepare it in advance, freeze it and use it as needed. For example, make the broth an alternative to your morning coffee.
