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.

The best decaf coffee beans to buy
If decaf is your choice, here are the best beans to choose from
Cup of coffee with coffee beans

Decaf coffee has been thrown under the barista bus for quite a while. And perhaps for good reason, as for too many years, there was hardly an option in the field worth brewing. Alas, times continue to change and we're now blessed with a broad range of decaf options.

The reasons for going sans caffeine are many, and while we love the fully loaded stuff, many of us like to take a break now and again. Sometimes, you just want the flavor of coffee without the extra kick. This is especially the case after a big meal that meanders into the wee hours, after which you just want to hit the hay. Other times, you just want some of the health benefits of coffee (the antioxidants, for example) without the jitters. For others, caffeine may inspire a bit of anxiety and just not be worth the risk.

How a Swiss hiking trip sparked the creation of the world’s first coffee in a tube
Camping coffee just got tastier
No Normal Coffee

No Normal Coffee is the world's first dedicated outdoor camping coffee in a tube that you can eat or drink. Just one product tube contains enough paste to make 20 cups of coffee -- enough to keep you sustained throughout your entire journey. Made in Switzerland from 100% fair trade Arabica coffee beans sourced from Columbia, you don't have to sacrifice a stellar cup of coffee in order to enjoy outdoor adventures.

But where did the innovative idea of coffee in a tube come from, and how should campers use coffee in a tube? I spoke to the co-founders of No Normal Coffee, Alexander Häberlin and Philippe Greinacher, to learn how a Swiss hiking trip sparked the creation of the world's first coffee in a tube.

Throw an elegant holiday party with these gin cocktails

elegant gin holiday cocktails cocktail withpeople 4 hendrick s festivus fizz

Key to incredible holiday party cocktails is creating drinks which not only taste good, but which look festive and spectacular too. That can involve all sorts of bartending magic like the use of a smoker, dry ice, fancy presentations, or spectacular garnishes and special ingredients like color-changing spirits or something with a bit of sparkle to it. However, beautiful drinks are also something that you can create at home using relatively simple ingredients, but prepared with care.

These recipes from Hendrick's Gin demonstrate just how to achieve that, with the use of simple but effective seasonal garnishes like rosemary, pomegranate seeds, and a cucumber wheel. These classy presentations take these ingredients and make full use of the glass, contrasting garnishes sprinkled throughout a drink with those that sit on the rim of a glass and those which protrude from it. Just like interior design, making a drink look good is all about the use of contrast, with contrasting heights, colors, and textures all playing a role.
