SEOUL SECRETS: HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE BONE BROTH IN A CROCKPOT (GLUTEN FREE AND PALEO!)

BONE BROTH IN A CROCKPOT

BONE BROTH is all the rage these days and rightfully so.  It’s a staple in the Korean traditional diet — and it’s a staple in many ethnic cultures.  BONE BROTH is especially making the rounds in LA these days with celebrities toting their cups of bone broth from Erewhon rather than their previous go-to cups of lattes!  The best part is it’s so easy to make homemade bone broth in a crockpot!

I talked about bone broth as one of the health trends last year – and this nurturing and nutritious ritual is still making its mark.  It has a lot of bang for its buck so to speak!  It’s super inexpensive to make while offering up innumerable benefits — from beauty and skin first aid to healing ailments in the gut, improving joint health, remineralizing teeth, boosting the immune system, overcoming food intolerances and reducing the appearance of cellulite!  Talk about nutrient density!

WHAT IS BONE BROTH?

First and foremost, it’s (chicken/turkey/beef) soup for the soul and the body!

It was a way my ancestors used every part of the animal – from the neck and skin and tendons.  The parts would be simmered over many days releasing healing nutrients like collagen (which helps form connective tissue) and glutamine and a variety of minerals from magnesium, calcium and so on.  (Thank goodness today’s crock pot takes the tediousness out of it!)  The best part is it tastes so darn delicious and is super healing during this cold and flu season!
