Bone broth with lemon is a savory, protein-containing drink that can be served on its own or used in soups and sauces. Its collagen and mineral content varies with the bones and cooking method, and it is not a treatment for illness.
Simmer bones in water until the broth is flavorful, then strain it and add lemon juice to taste. Adding the lemon near the end keeps its fresh, bright flavor more noticeable.
Yes. Simmering bones and connective tissue releases collagen, much of which breaks down into gelatin in the broth. The amount in bone broth with lemon varies depending on the bones, cooking time, and dilution.
Add lemon juice near the end of cooking or just before serving for a fresher citrus taste. You can simmer it with the broth, but prolonged cooking softens its aroma.
Yes, bone broth with lemon breaks a strict water-only fast because it contains protein and energy. Some intermittent-fasting plans allow broth, but that is different from maintaining a fast with no calories.
Keep bone broth with lemon in a covered container in the refrigerator and use it within about 3–4 days. Cool it promptly after cooking, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, bone broth with lemon freezes well. Cool it first, divide it into usable portions, and leave room for expansion in each container. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it thoroughly.
The acidity from lemon may help some minerals move from bones into the cooking liquid, but it does not guarantee a mineral-rich broth. The bones and the cooking process also affect the result.
Lemon does not remove salt from bone broth with lemon, but its acidity can make the broth taste brighter and less flat. Add it gradually before reaching for more salt.
Yes. Warm plain bone broth and stir in fresh lemon juice to taste; bottled or boxed broth can be more heavily salted than homemade, so taste it before adding extra salt.

Bone broth with lemon is made by simmering animal bones in water, then brightening the savoury broth with lemon. Bone broths have a long place in home cooking across many food traditions; in Turkey, bone broth is also commonly used as a base for soups and rice dishes. The lemony version can be sipped on its own or used in cooking.
Its flavour is rich and meaty, while the lemon adds a clean, tangy lift. The broth may feel lightly gelatinous when cool, depending on how it is made. It provides protein with relatively little carbohydrate; the listed amount is 5.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter cup, skim off any fat that gathers on top, and add fresh lemon just before serving.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
