Bone broth gummies have gained popularity as an alternative way to consume the nutrients found in traditional bone broth. Here are some reasons why people may choose to make or consume bone broth gummies:
1. Convenience: Gummies are a convenient way to enjoy the benefits of bone broth without having to prepare and consume liquid bone broth.
2. Nutrient-Rich: Bone broth is rich in nutrients like collagen, gelatin, and various minerals. Gummies can provide a concentrated source of these nutrients.
3. Collagen Boost: Collagen in bone broth is known for its potential benefits to skin, hair, and joint health. Gummies can offer a tasty way to incorporate collagen into your diet.
4. Gut Health: Bone broth contains gelatin, which can be beneficial for gut health. Gummies may provide a more palatable option for those looking to support their digestive system.
5. Flavor Variety: You can customize bone broth gummies with different flavors, making them more appealing to your taste preferences.
However, it’s essential to ensure that the gummies are made from high-quality bone broth and gelatin to retain the potential health benefits associated with bone broth.
Making bone broth gummies is a creative and nutritious idea. Here's a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
2/3 cup bone broth
3 1/3 tablespoons gelatin powder
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 cup lemon juice
You can add your optional flavorings for added taste instead of honey, raspberries and lemon juice.
Instructions:
1. Heat the bone broth in a saucepan over low heat. Gradually sprinkle the gelatin powder over the warm bone broth while whisking continuously to avoid clumps. Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth and all the gelatin is dissolved.
2. Mix frozen raspberries and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Add honey. Mix well. Add raspberries and mix well over low heat. (You can add your optional flavorings at this stage for added taste)
3. Pour the mixture into silicone molds. This will make it easier to remove the gummies once they're set.
4. Refrigerate the molds for at least 2-3 hours or until the gummies have solidified.
5. Pop the bone broth gummies out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks
These gummies can be a convenient way to incorporate the benefits of bone broth into your diet.
