Collagen Broth from Chicken Feet

🖨️ Print post

Collagen broth has several health benefits including improved joint health, wound healing and osteoarthritis symptoms. Collagen broth contains glycine, an amino acid that helps with relaxation and deeper sleep. Collagen broth also contains amino acids that help reduce inflammation throughout the body, including the skin. It improves gut health and better hydration.

“Chicken feet make a rich, flavorful and nutritious broth. Filled with immune boosting properties, it’s very  nourishing for your gut. There are also a multitude of health benefits for your skin, joints and bones. The feet are the most gelatinous part of the chicken and they contain a very large amount of collagen. This collagen creates an incredibly gelatinous broth – after it cools in the fridge it turns into jelly that can be scooped with a spoon! Once it is heated you can use it like any other bone broth.” cocoetsel.com

Note the while broth has many health benefits it is not a rich source of minerals like previously thought. Here is another reference to that point.
