What is best bone broth to buy
the best store-bought bone stock options :)
[Music]
all policy Terina here i want to talk to
you today about store-bought phone stock
options if you've been in the real food
slash holistic roam for any significant
period of time you're gonna know and
hear about the benefits of bone stock
and so this is not intended to go into
detail about all the beneficial
nutrients you know i typically don't
like to get that granular with all the
different benefits and amino acids and
things like that i mean it's interesting
stuff i could take a rock and put it
under a microscope and tell you all the
different nutrients that are in it but
what i like people to understand is the
bigger broader concept alright so if i'm
trying to mimic the evolutionary
template then i'm trying to eat an
animal nose-to-tail and the reason for
that is i want a broad spectrum of
nutrients this is what my body
anticipates and expects my body requires
a lot of things to make it properly and
a lot of things to function properly and
the broader that expectrum of nutrients
the more than I can mimic eating things
that resemble what makes me me then the
more that I give my body what it needs
to make me okay
so one of the big reasons we want to
consider consuming bone stock on a
regular basis is most of us typically
only eat muscle meat when it comes to
animal meats and muscle meat meaning
like chicken breasts and ground beef and
steaks and things like that you know we
usually recommend consuming bone-in
skin-on and fatty cuts because that
starts to mimic more of that
evolutionary template and I'm getting
more and more and more nutrients into it
so I want to think bigger picture I want
to think getting an entire animal or as
close to that as I can possibly get so
when I consume bone stock I'm consuming
the liquid of simmered bones and when I
simmer bones those bones typically
ideally are going to have connective
tissue like cartilage and tendons and
things like that
and so when I simmer the bones then all
that stuff dissolves and getting into
the water and then when I consume that
liquid that I'm getting all those
beneficial nutrients and most of those
nutrients I'm not getting from muscle
meat so again bigger picture you know
I'm not going to talk about all the
different you know amino acids and
nutrient
some benefits of bone-stock it's
extremely helpful and the big picture of
reason why it's helpful is because it's
giving me a balance of nutrients that
I'm not giving when I typically eat
muscle meat okay so now when I started
teaching this stuff five years ago you
know we were all making our own bones
talk all my practitioner friends and
there weren't any store-bought options
available you know like there was
Swanson chicken broth which is not
really bone broth you know oh by the way
did you know the difference between bone
stock and broth stock is the liquid
without seasoning and then once you
flavor it up that's broth from what I
understand so but anyway when we started
doing this five years ago you know we
were all making our own stuff but there
weren't any store-bought options but now
that this holistic health you know real
food grassroots movement has taken such
a strong hold there's so many people
involved in it now we see a lot of
different options so and you know bone
stock is like so popular that you go to
a grocery store shelf and and sometimes
you'll see like an entire section
dedicated to it now within all those
different options the question is
whoever's making it do they understand
what we really want what we're looking
for out of it a lot of stock options out
there are nothing more than water with
meat flavoring or chicken flavoring
you know it's they're not even really
making it the right way so what we did
is we went out and we purchased just
about every brand you could think of and
made some phone calls and figured out
which ones were legitimate stock options
like using that word stock options
alright so there are a lot of options
out there the majority of them were
either made with inappropriate
ingredients or they weren't made the
right way they were either just
simmering muscle meat to get the flavor
of the meat into it or they were using
what they call meat flavoring which was
synthetic flavoring and maybe there's a
bunch of other stuff included in that so
these companies here are a simplified
list of quality stock options made the
right way these people know what we're
looking for when we want this kind of
stuff so my first top pick is bonafide
provisions bonafide provisions you can
see here refrigerator like completely
gelatinize if stock gelatinizes that
when it's chilled that's a clear
indication that it's got a lot of the
connective tissue and collagen and stuff
in it so it's almost proof that it's
made the right way
if it doesn't gelatinize that doesn't
mean that it's not legitimate stock
because it could be a matter of diluting
it so if I make some stock on my own and
I have some bones in a crock pot and I
just barely cover those bones with water
that liquid that I get out of it is
going to be extremely concentrated and
more than likely it's going to
gelatinize if I make the same batch of
bones but I double the water I'm still
getting the same nutrients and the same
benefits out of the bones and connective
tissue but because it's so diluted it
may not gelatinize so if it gelatinizes
then it's an indication that it's made
the right way if it doesn't gelatinize
that doesn't really mean one way or
another
all right so bona fide provisions they
have a chicken a beef they have a
frontier blend which I love it has a
bunch of different kinds of animal bones
and you can see here gelatinizes really
well this company was started by a
classmate of mine
Alexandra Raines and I'm pretty sure in
our ntp class nutritional therapy
practitioner course I'm pretty sure I
taught our classmates how to make bone
stock and how to make kombucha and so
she started her own company and it's
doing really great it's in a lot of
health food stores definitely all Whole
Foods in the frozen section I keep
several bags of this in my freezer and
this is what I consume on a daily basis
I consume about a quart of stock a day
and so this is my top pick like made the
right way very trusted source and I
absolutely love it alright my second top
pick is gonna be kettle and fire and
kettle and fire same thing these guys
know what people are looking for they
use organic grass-fed pasture raised
bones chickens beef pork all that stuff
and and this is a really high-quality
product when you put it in the
refrigerator it gets thick it doesn't
completely gelatinize the beef
gelatinizes a little bit more but it is
made the right way what I love about it
is it's completely shelf stable so the
way they package it is vacuum-sealed the
containers biodegradable non-toxic it's
vacuum sealed and it's designed to be
shelf stable so I keep this as some
fresh options in my freezer and I
consume this most days I keep this as an
option at my office and in my pantry and
I love to take this on hikes and camping
trips because again it's shelf staple it
doesn't go bad until you open it once
you open it you need to consume it you
know within three to
five days or something like that so so I
keep a combination of these two I always
keep some of this in my freezer I always
have this on hand another great option
that you're gonna find in a lot of
grocery stores I think I've seen it at
Costco and some other places is Pacific
made a phone call to their headquarters
and talked to some people in there
Quality Control Department and they make
it the right way they use organic
free-range chicken and turkeys they
simmer the entire bones feet neck they
just don't have organs in there and and
the chickens are organic free-range from
turkeys organic free-range so really
good quality option you can see here
it's thick it's still a little bit
liquidy so maybe a little bit diluted
but it is made the right way so that's a
great option I don't think as great an
option as these two but still a good
option and then finally stock options is
another one made the right way and you
can see here it's relatively thick it's
kind of getting warmed up from being at
room temperature here the reason that
this is last in our list is because it's
not organic pasture-raised grass-fed
bones so so hopefully that's helpful the
big takeaway from this is remember once
we've been down this real food path for
a while we want to start to upgrade our
quality choices and start to mimic this
evolutionary template and getting a lot
of beneficial nutrients a broad spectrum
of nutrients we want to think when we
eat animal meat especially we're going
to think about eating organs and we want
to think about getting skin and
connective tissue and glycine in college
and and all the things that we need to
make me because I am more than just
muscle meat I need stuff to make my
joints and skin and and all these other
things and so if I consume stock in
addition to eating my variety of meats
and trying to get some organ meats in
here here and there then I'm broadening
my nutrient spectrum and I'm giving my
body a lot of what it needs and that's
what we're looking for okay so thank you
so much for tuning in if this
information is useful share it with
somebody people need to know this stuff
you know I'm saying alright love you
guys we'll see you soon
