About Beef broth

Beef broth is a savory liquid made by simmering beef bones, meat, and aromatics like onions, carrots, celery, and herbs in water. A staple in many global cuisines, it originated as a simple, resourceful way to extract flavor and nutrients from bones and connective tissues. Popular in dishes like soups, stews, and sauces, its rich umami notes enhance a variety of recipes. Nutritionally, beef broth is low in calories but rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, promoting bone health. It also contains collagen, which may support joint and skin health. However, its sodium content can be high, especially in prepackaged varieties, so it's important to check labels or make it at home to adjust seasoning. Beef broth is both a comforting culinary base and a nutrient-rich option when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
