Bone or Veggie Broth...Which to Choose and Why?
Last week, our team member in the spotlight was Anjaneya, a lover of both bone broth and our nourishing vegan broth. This week we’re covering the benefits of both. Anjaneya loves to combine the two as each variety has nutritious and delicious health and wellness benefits.
What is bone broth?
Bone broth, also referred to as a stock, is culinary infusion made by boiling bones of healthy animals with vegetables, herbs and spices. It can be made from the bones of beef, bison, lamb, poultry, or fish, and vegetables and spices are usually added for extra nutrition and flavor.
Rich in minerals, bone broth also encourages a healthy
immune system and supports digestion. High in calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, bone broth also supports bone and tooth health. Bone broth has high amounts of collagen thereby supporting joints, hair, skin, and nails. In fact, some even suggest that it helps eliminate cellulite as it supports smooth connective tissue.
And for you Vegans and Vegetarians
For all you veggies and vegans out there, Beyond Broth has developed a variety of broth that is full of both flavor and nutrition. Say good-bye to boullion! All vegan and vegetable broths are both mineralizing and alkalizing. They help to bring balance to a body that consumes acidic-rich foods like coffee, red meat and sugar. Vegan broths also contain phytonutrients that support the immune system. Some broths, especially Beyond Broth contain vegetables that aid in the production of collagen in the body, including but not limited to beets and spinach. Other vegetables include celery, seaweed, kale and soybeans.
