Perhaps you’ve resolved to make 2018 the year of healthy, local, and fresh eating! Sometimes it’s tough to get started on the path to be your healthiest you. Starting small is the way to go, and there’s nothing easier than adding a delicious and warm beverage to your routine.
This is totally the time of year when everyone needs some really great broth in their house! Since the cold and flu season here and the weather is freakishly in the single digits, one of the best ways to ensure your family’s continued health and nutrition is through bone broth. Our birds make the best broth because they’re raised on pasture, free ranging around among the greenery! That means they’re getting tons of extra vitamins and minerals.
Using chicken feet for broth or soup is really one of the best ways to get loads of flavor, and to ensure you’re getting adequate nutrition, gelatin, and collagen–among other important micronutrients!
Why Should You Be Drinking Chicken Foot Broth?
Bone broth has been known for a long time to assist in joint health, gut and instestinal health, and immunity. Gelatin and collagen are pulled from the skin, cartilage, and joints of the bones or feet. Collagen builds and rebuilds cells and trace minerals nourish us from the inside out.
Feet are pretty much skin, cartilage, and ligament, so you get the picture… A swirling pot of “liquid luck.” As we enter the season when germs make their rounds, having chicken feet on hand can be a huge help in battling illness amoung your big and little family members!
Making Broth is Easy!
They may look scary, but since our chicken feet are peeled and ready to go straight in your soup pot, all you need to do is add a couple to each stock you make and you’re all set! Or, if you’re even more daring you can make an entire pot of broth with only a pack of feet. If this seems daunting to you check out this simple recipe on how to do just that. You won’t regret it! All you need is a soup pot, water, your chicken feet, and some optional herbs.
