I finally bought my Instapot last year and saying it’s come in handy would be a massive understatement. And making this bone broth recipe is a perfect example just why.
If I were to make this delicious savory broth with a crock pot I’d be adding several more steps, and hours. Many hours.
Remember when grandma would give you a hot cup of broth when you weren’t feeling so hot? Well, she knew what she was doing. And so does science.
Bones are loaded with vitamins, nutrients and phosphorous. Tissues and bones also contain collagen. Cooking collagen turns it to gelatin, which provides the body with amino acids, and thus, proteins. And that collagen may well help your joints.
Drinking a cup of bone broth a day can help fuel anti-inflammatory amino-acids into the body and help heal the gut too!
You also can use some herbs to add to the taste of your broth additionally. Think parsley, oregano, thyme. Or any other herbs you see fit!
And by using your Instapot you get to enjoy your broth in just a few hours vs waiting!
