Here’s a simplified tutorial to help you get started using Beahm Family Farm’s grassfed beef bones for homemade bone broth. Skip the expensive store-bought version and make this healing drink at home for yourself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bone broth is noted for its immune-boosting benefits, and helping your own skin, hair, and bones to thrive. Our grassfed beef bones are the best source for making bone broth because of the way we raise them. Chemical additives are generally stored in the fat of animals, and if you want the purest form of broth, you need to start with the healthiest animals that were raised with pasturing practices in a holistic way.  <\/p>\n

The beef bones we sell are from our 100% pastured, grass-fed\/finished beef and we don\u2019t use antibiotics, hormones, or pesticides. We sell grassfed beef bones year-around at our farm, and have them in convenient bag sizes that are approximately 3, 5, or 10 lbs. of bones per bag. It’s easy to reserve some on our website, they are $2\/lb. with our order form. <\/a> <\/p>\n

Bone broth contains:
\n\u2022 Collagen and gelatin. They improve joints, hair, skin, and nails.
\n\u2022 Amino acids, nutrients, and other minerals. They boost immunity, encourage detoxification, and provide better digestion and overall gut health.<\/p>\n

Making bone broth, in our opinion, can be as complicated or simple as you want to make it. So what is bone broth exactly? It is the extracted collagen, fat, minerals and nutrients from the bones infused in the water after you have simmered the bones over a long period of time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

People drink a cup of bone broth everyday like hot tea (as it cools, the fat will separate from the liquid, so keep it hot!) Others use it as bases for soups, stews, or sauces. We get bone broth into our children\u2019s diet by sneaking it into delicious soups and crockpot recipes that require broth.
\nWe have used several different cooking devices to make bone broth: stove-top, Crockpot, Instant Pot\/electric pressure cooker, and stovetop pressure cooker. The results vary a little with each type of method as far as ease of use, cooking time needed, and how concentrated the broth turned out.
