What is Bone broth base?
Bone broth base is a concentrated preparation made by simmering animal bones to make broth and reducing it for convenient use. It adds a savoury, slow-cooked flavour to soups, stews, sauces and grains, and may come as a paste, powder or concentrate depending on the product.
Its flavour is rich and meaty, and it dissolves into hot liquid; broth can become softly gelatinous as it cools. Stir it into a dish while cooking, or dilute it with hot water when you want a simple broth. It is notable for protein and collagen, as well as sodium, so taste the dish before adding extra salt. Its concentrated flavour works especially well with vegetables and beans.
