FAQs – your bone broth questions answered
1. What is bone broth?
In a nutshell, a slow cooking process draws out all the good stuff from bones — like collagen and minerals — that support our bodies. It’s made by slow simmering connective tissues and bones with water, veggies, and herbs. Apple cider vinegar is often used, the acidity helps extract minerals.
2. What are the health benefits of bone broth?
Why use bone broth? The appeal goes beyond taste; it offers a range of nutritional benefits.
Here’s what it brings to the table:
- Collagen and gelatin - the body needs this for skin and joint health
- Calcium and minerals – important for bone strength
- Amino acids –like gut loving glutamine and the collagen peptides: glycine, proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydration – being a liquid, it adds to your healthy fluid intake – key for skin health and detoxification

3. Is bone broth suitable for everyone?
While bone broth is packed with nutrients – if you follow a plant-based diet, consider plant-based alternatives such as vegetable broth. If you have allergies, be sure to check the label.
How can I incorporate bone broth into my diet?
Getting bone broth into your daily routine is easier than you might think! Here are a few ideas:
- Drink it on its own: Enjoy a warm cup of bone broth as a nutritious beverage – like a healthy, instant cup of soup. A healthy snack when you’re on the go.
- Use it as a base for soups and stews: Boost the flavour and nutrition of your favourite recipes.
- Add it to sauces and gravies: Create savoury sauces that pair perfectly with meats and veggies.

5. Are there any vegan options available for bone broth?
There are vegan or vegetable broths available. That allow you to add a depth of flavour to your meals. These plant-based options typically include a blend of vegetables, herbs, and spices to create a nutritious and flavourful base. Technically they’re veggie broths, rather than vegan bone broths. Look for options labelled as "vegan broth" or "vegetable broth" to ensure they meet your dietary preferences while still delivering great taste.
6. How do I choose a quality bone broth product?
Here are some factors to keep in mind:
- Ingredients: Look for organic where possible and natural ingredients without additives or preservatives.
- Nutrition: Check for collagen, calcium and protein content, as these are the key nutrients in bone broth.
- Packaging: Choose products that are properly packaged to maintain freshness and prevent contamination. Glass is the most sustainable option because glass is ‘infinitely recyclable’ – it can be recycled repeatedly.
- Sourcing: Opt for brands that provide information on where the bones are sourced, ensuring they come from healthy, pasture-raised animals.
