Broth is a savory liquid made by simmering animal bones, meat, or vegetables in water, often seasoned with herbs and spices. Commonly used as a base for soups, stews, and sauces, broth is a staple in various cuisines, including French, Asian, and American cooking. Nutritionally, broth is low in calories and packed with hydration, offering minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium when made from bone-based recipes. It may also contain collagen, which supports skin and joint health. Vegetable-based broth provides a nutrient-rich, plant-based option without fats or cholesterol, whereas animal-based broths may contain small amounts of protein and fat. Store-bought broths can be high in sodium, so it’s advisable to choose low-sodium versions or make it at home. Broth remains a versatile and healthful addition to meals when chosen and prepared with care.
