Chicken or beef stock is a flavorful liquid made by simmering bones, meat scraps, and aromatic vegetables like onions, celery, and carrots in water. Often enhanced with herbs and spices, it serves as the base for soups, sauces, and stews, and is a staple in cuisines around the globe, from American comfort dishes to European classics. Chicken stock is typically lighter and often considered more versatile, while beef stock offers a richer, deeper flavor ideal for hearty recipes. Nutritionally, stocks contain minerals like calcium and magnesium extracted from the bones, along with collagen that may support joint health. However, store-bought varieties can be high in sodium, so homemade versions allow better control of salt levels and ingredients. When prepared without added fats or artificial additives, chicken or beef stock can be a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
