the powerhouse, suitable for ketogenic diet

Place the rinsed mixed beef bones, meat bones, short bones, and marrow bones in a suitably large pot, covered with cold water, and bring to a boil over low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar per liter of cooking water, as the vinegar dissolves all the good nutrients from the bones. The nutrients only release from the bones after 4 hours of simmering. Do not add salt or other spices; only the bay leaves if you are using the broth for cooking, for soups, sauces, etc. Simmer the bones for at least 18 hours. Always on low heat to prevent any protein from escaping. The longer you boil the bones, the more nutrients will release from the bones; you can do this for up to 72 hours. But the broth should simmer for at least 18 hours. If you can’t manage it all at once, you can also pause in between, for example, overnight. Once you’ve done this, pour the bone broth through a sieve and ladle it into jars. Once cooled, the broth will keep in the refrigerator for several days. But it’s even better to boil them down or store them in portions in the freezer. If you have a slow cooker, you have the advantage of simmering the bone broth in it. In any case, the bones should be covered with water. Bone broth is a powerhouse for health, something our grandparents already knew about. It can help us maintain a healthy intestinal flora and thus contribute to the relief of gastrointestinal problems. It is also important for healthy joints and helps reduce joint pain. Our ancestors already knew this, and this broth was used for sick people. But not only for that purpose; it can also be used by healthy people, because it tastes great and can be used in a ketogenic diet. Bone broth can also be made from chicken bones or pork bones, as well as from game bones.
