BONE BROTH - REUSING THE BONES?
That was some good information to learn!
Here on the homestead, we like real food and reusing and using as much as we can. If we harvest an animal to eat, we don't stop at just the meat. There are a lot more uses than just whatever meat may be on that animal. Lately, I've been working on learning how to tan some hides. Additionally, we love using the bones to make some very healthy broth.
BONE BROTH BENEFITS
These are the things that were once common years ago. Now, broth comes from the store, right? Well, not on our homestead.
With the rise in what I would call "fake food" and "compromised nutrition" we like taking matters into our own hands. For all of the supposed greatness of the intellect of man, we sure seem to be falling short on some issues. Have you ever noticed the incredible rise of very small children with mouths already full of fake, metal teeth. I don't think that they are just trying to look "crunk" or "gansta."
Much like other parts of our bodies, teeth need certain minerals and nutrients to stay healthy and avoid deterioration. Bone broth is one healthy way to not only improve the health of our teeth, but also our entire bodies. By slow-cooking bones, especially after soaking them in a mixture of vinegar and water, many necessary minerals and healthy compounds like proline, collagen, glycine and glutamine can be extracted from the bones and made available in the broth.
Especially as winter approaches, boosting the immune system and keeping the body nourishes is especially important, and making our own bone broth is one great way to accomplish this.
REUSING THE BONES
Until recently, we only used the bones once, and we thought that we had gotten all that we could from them. However, our researcher @mama-pepper came across some vital information. Apparently, you can use and reuse the bones. Bones from larger animals like cows can be used over ten times! Smaller animals, like chickens, usually exhaust their benefits after three times, but still! That's three times the benefits that we can now get from the same bones.
When considering how to get the most out of harvested animals, this is excellent information. As I said, we just learned about this. Is this also news to you? Have you ever made your own broth using bones, or do you remember your parents or grandparents making it? Did you already know that you could reuse bones in broth?
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Thanks @papa-pepper for sharing how we can reuse bones nutrient multiple times, which makes cooking bone broth very affordable. Many studies have indicated that the nutrients in bone broth can benefit patients with arthritis particularly osteoarthritis, but some for individuals with rheumatoid arthritis as well.This information should be shared to all arthritis patients.
Very cool! I didn't know that, but excellent point!
I make bone broth often, and boil them down with the meat, fat, and skin scraps until the bones are almost mush! I even use my blender and make a puree out of it all when the bones get soft enough. Sounds kinda gross but added back into the broth its really delicious and super rich in minerals!
It may sound gross, but it is so good for you! Way to go, stay healthy!
I never tried that!! Next time, I will puree them and see what happens....
It's surprisingly good, sometimes a little chalky at the bottom of the pot but if you have veggies like squash or potato in your soup it helps. I really like the idea of using as much of the animal as possible. As a breastfeeding mother I need all the calcium and other bone building minerals I can get! And where better to get them from?
Thank you for sharing!
Awesome
We make our own bone broth too. But this is the first time I have heard that the bones could be reused. We make plenty of broth and then freeze it because we don't have ready access to canning jars here. I love to use the broth plain (hot drink) as a soup base and for any recipe that calls for broth and even substitute in recipes calling for water. So much healthier than that junk in the paper boxes in the supermarket.
Glad that now you know! I think anyone who makes bone broth anyway should be very happy to learn this! Thanks!
A cup of hot broth is an Ambrosia from the Gods!
Delicious, nutritious and easy
I would have to agree!
I find this so fascinating, I myself love good, homemade broth! This kind of broth is great for staying healthy all year!
Oh yeah Papa... question, after cooking, do you eat the whole thing? or is just for flavor purpose? Here in Spain we have some soups in which we cook with the cow bone, and the inside of the bone is considered a delicattesen
We eat all that we can, but in the end some of the bone is usually discarded. It can be a good treat for some animals, or used in the garden too, so at least it is not wasted.
We call it the Bone’s Brain in Russian
@papa-pepper it is good for bone formation, and you will also get calcium from it
Oh yes! Lots of good stuff! Thanks @polaleye50!
You are welcome!
My wife makes soup from bones all the time. The soup in the store is no longer to our liking. We also use the broth when making grains instead of water. This really improves the grains. Day after Thanksgiving the turkey is all cut up and the soup is on. We get a whole ham and cut it into steaks and use the bones and skin for broth. I think her favorite is chicken thighs and legs. I love the legs for a meal and she used the thighs for her soup.
I'll have to tell @mama-pepper about cooking grains in it! Good choice!
Bone broth is the best!! Right after harvesting the chickens, I use the heads and feet to make the first broth. And for sure - the bones get used until they are so soft that they brake apart.
I learned about using the bones over last year and am so glad!!! Cheap and delicious!! And honoring the animal by using every bit of it.
I'm so hungry
Myamii ! @papa-pepper , it look's very delicious ! & all informations are news for me to know , thank you for sharing :)
Thank you for checking it out!
