Touted as a tasty, mineral-rich, immune and gut health boosting elixir, jam-packed with healing compounds such as collagen, glutamine, glycine and proline, bone broth is a savoury supplement we can’t get enough off, especially in cooler weather. If you’re simply wanting a heat and drink solution, our favourite organic grocer, Huckleberry, stock a number of organic varieties in both chicken and beef renditions. But if you’d rather a hands-on approach, we’ve got just the thing. Just remember, it pays to go organic to ensure that the ingredients bubbling and boiling in your slow cooker are capable of bringing you the goodness you seek.
