I tried Brodo bone broth and it completely changed my mind about bone broth

Rethinking bone broth flavor

Since I switched to a low-carb diet in 2017, I’ve tried bone broth several times with the hopes of falling in love. I’ve heard about the health benefits of bone broth for quite some time, but I could never seem to overcome the taste. As a big foodie, I need to enjoy the flavor of something if I consume it regularly. Bone broth is a liquid made of boiled animal bones; I don’t blame you if it isn’t exactly appealing. I’m glad I was open-minded enough to try Brodo Bone Broth, as it has completely changed my mind about what bone broth can taste like.

Tagged “the best bone broth on the planet” by the brand itself; I wholeheartedly agree. If you’ve failed to incorporate bone broth into your diet, here’s why you should reconsider trying bone broth again again.

About Brodo Bone Broth

Bone broth has been around for centuries, but only in the 20th century was it first industrialized. Brodo’s bone broth focuses on the traditional way of making bone broth, with real bones from real animals on real pastures.” Now, there’s a lot to love about this brand. First, they only source bones from cooperatives and family farms that raise animals without antibiotics or hormones. The brand also promises no concentrates, no preservatives, and no shortcuts.

There’s no doubt all of these health-conscious attributes are important. But for me, its taste sets Brodo apart from other health-focused bone broth brands. Again, it needs to be pretty tasty if I make it part of my health routine.

The taste difference

Instead of just straight animal bones, Brodo uses whole-cut organic vegetables to add a better flavor to its bone broths. Additionally, the long-simmering process creates a more flavorful and intense bone broth taste than traditional store-bought bone broths. Drinking Brodo’s bone broth is not just tolerable; it’s enjoyable.

Another thing that sets the brand apart for me is the flavor selection. You can find a great mix of the classics with unique savory and flavored options. Some classic options include the Roasted Organic Chicken Broth and Hearth Bone Broth, which features a mix of beef, chicken, and turkey bones. However, my favorites are the unique flavors, such as the Spicy Nonna Roasted Garlic & Chili Broth or the Deeply Rooted Ginger & Turmeric. The added flavor of the spices used in these flavors brings the drinking experience to the next level.

I’ve recently discovered there are more ways to use Bone broth than I first thought. As delicious as it is just warmed up in a cup, these broths are also great for use as a base in soups and stews or to keep meats moist during cooking.

Cortado vs. cappuccino: Here’s how to pick your perfect espresso drink
What makes these two drinks unique?
Cortado

In my early coffee-drinking days, there was a period where I found coffee shop menus overwhelming. Instead of browsing the dozens of delicious espresso combinations available, I'd order just a plain coffee to avoid embarrassing myself. So many subtle nuances between coffee drinks, especially espresso-based beverages, seem similar, such as when comparing a Cortado vs. cappuccino.

However, avoiding ordering these is not the answer; you could miss out on a world full of enjoying new espresso drinks. Once you learn the differences between each drink, the menu suddenly becomes less overwhelming. Let's start by comparing the difference between two "C' drinks: the Cortado and the cappuccino. What are the key differences that set these drinks apart?

With so many people getting on board for Dry January, cocktail bars around the world and getting in on the non-alcoholic action too. Two NYC bars have embraced this trend with challenging, interesting mocktails which keep the sensory pleasures of a cocktail but ditch the booze.

“As a teenager who grew up in Flatbush, Brooklyn my preparation for my driver's test involved two traditions-- practicing my K turns on the slow cobblestoned streets of Red Hook Brooklyn and grabbing a celebratory slice of Steve's Key Lime Pie for not crashing!" said Rob Giles of Beefbar NYC, creator of one of the drinks. "This non- alcoholic cocktail is an homage to that using coconut cream, Thai coconut milk, and topped with Fever Tree lime and yuzu soda.”
