Brown stock is a flavorful liquid made by simmering roasted bones, vegetables, herbs, and water for several hours. It is commonly used in French cuisine as a base for sauces, soups, and stews. Key ingredients include beef or veal bones, aromatic vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions, and seasonings such as bay leaves, peppercorns, and thyme. Roasting the bones prior to simmering imparts a rich, deep flavor and color. Nutritionally, brown stock is a source of minerals like calcium and magnesium from the bones and contains gelatin, which may support joint health and digestion. However, depending on preparation, brown stock can be high in sodium if additional salt is added. When made from high-quality ingredients and consumed in moderation, it can complement a balanced diet and enhance nutrient intake without being overly caloric.
