About Meat broth

Meat broth is a savory liquid made by simmering meat, bones, and aromatic vegetables like onions, celery, and carrots in water over a prolonged period. This traditional base is widely used in cuisines around the world, including European, Asian, and Middle Eastern dishes, as a foundation for soups, stews, and sauces. Rich in flavor, meat broth often contains nutrients like collagen, gelatin, and minerals released from the bones and connective tissues during cooking. These components may support skin health, joint function, and digestion. Additionally, meat broth is a good source of hydration and can provide a comforting, nourishing meal on its own. However, it can be high in sodium, especially when commercially prepared, so it’s important to monitor salt content in your diet. Home-made versions often offer the healthiest option, allowing control over ingredients and seasoning while maximizing nutritional benefits.
