Bone Broth is a Lie

Описание: Like most marketing, the claims around "bone broth" are rooted in truth, they are just a bit blown out of proportion and packaged to make you pay a premium. Personally, if you are interested in accessing the benefits of "Bone broth," then I would highly recommend saving the money and making your own. That way, you know exactly what is in it, how it was made, and you can dial it in for exactly what you're trying to use it for.

If you are cooking for health benefits and want the maximum amount of "collagen originating proteins and amino acids," then you should simmer it for up to 20 hours. Just note that you will be degrading the gelatin and losing lots of texture and flavor in the process, so if you are planning on drinking it directly, you may need to add some herbs and spices as well.

For a stock to be used in a larger dish, it's best to keep the cook time around 1-2 hours for fish, 4-6 hours for chicken, 5-7 hours for pork, and 8-12 hours for beef. This is the point where you have the optimal ratio of flavor and gelatin for the best taste and texture.
