For this classic shrub, we infused Bernie's Best apple cider vinegar with organic fresh thyme and local yerba santa. We added juice from local gravenstein apples along with raw local honey to balance the traditional tang of the oxymel (vinegar-infused medicinal tonic).

Beets are sliced and cultured in water with yogurt whey and Celtic sea salt to make this traditional tonic drink. Sally Fallon Morell describes this drink as being "valuable for its medicinal qualities and as a digestive aid. Beets are just loaded with nutrients. One 4-ounce glass, morning and night, is an excellent blood tonic, promotes regularity, aids digestion, alkalizes the blood, cleanses the liver and is a good treatment for kidney stones and other ailments..." (Nourishing Traditions, page 608)

Versions of Callaloo can be found throughout the Caribbean. Ours is closest to the one you might find in Grenada -- a creamy puree of greens rich with coconut milk. While traditional versions often feature taro greens or amaranth, the soup is easily adapted to whatever leafy greens flourish locally and in season. This week we're featuring a mix of collard greens, chard and dandelion greens. A hint of ginger, garlic, coriander and nutmeg augment the natural richness of the greens, and plenty of coconut milk forms the base.

Ingredients: collard greens,* chard,* coconut milk (guar gum-free),* onions,* dandelion greens,* coconut oil,* garlic,* lemon juice,* ginger,* Celtic sea salt, black pepper,* coriander,* nutmeg,* mace*  (* = organic)

Our simple, flavorful, deeply nourishing broth is made from roasted organic chicken bones, extra chicken feet (which are especially rich in gelatin), plus a splash of Bernie's apple cider vinegar to help draw out minerals. The broth simmers at just the right temperature for 12-16 hours to draw out the nutrients without damaging them by overcooking, and to bring out a lovely flavor.

To accommodate the needs of those on low- or no-salt diets or with other food sensitivities, we don't add anything else.

A half cup in the morning is a great way to awaken your digestion and get a shot of very digestible protein – about as much as 1 egg. You can simply heat the broth with a little salt and pepper, or tamari, fish sauce, coconut aminos, miso or any flavoring of your choice. Add it to enrich soups and stews (or use it as a base for your own soups), cook your rice or any starches in it, or braise chicken parts and vegetables for dinner. Cook it down for an umami-rich demi-glace! Add a little cold broth to deglaze a frying with a spatula and capture all that stuck-on flavor from grilled meats. Try a savory oatmeal cooked with broth (2:1 ratio with oats), with eggs, cheese or any savory condiments. (TSH worker-owner Mud Hut loves making Egg Drop Soup: cook the whites in simmering broth with a little salt and pepper, then add the yolk and turn the heat off after a few seconds.) 

The term "broth" does not always mean the same thing to everyone. In the most commonly accepted usage, what we make is called "Bone Broth." It is the most gelatin-rich (meaning protein-rich) and mineral-rich of these variations, and cooked the longest. The term "broth" on its own (or "chicken broth" or "beef broth," etc.) usually means it was made with meat and little or no bones, cooked for a shorter time, less than 6 hours, and serves more as a flavoring base than a nutritional vehicle. "Stock" most often refers to bones simmered with vegetables and possibly herbs or whole spices, perhaps some meat, and is also usually cooked for less than 6 hours. 

According to Sally Fallon, author of Nourishing Traditions, "[Bone broth] contains minerals in a form the body can absorb easily—not just calcium but also magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur and trace minerals. It contains the broken-down material from cartilage and tendons--stuff like chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine, now sold as expensive supplements for arthritis and joint pain."

If you're new to bone broth in your diet, or concerned about consuming a whole jar within 5 days of opening it, you can freeze what you don't need right away. One ingenious way to introduce broth into your life, or to simplify portion control, is to freeze it in ice cube trays, then store the cubes in a bag or container in the freezer. Heat a few whenever you want a cup of broth, add a few cubes when you cook rice or any starch, or when you're heating up a soup or stew...you get the picture.

A trio of traditional immune boosting plants (turmeric, ginger, and garlic) make this kraut a great support for your health. We've also added black pepper, as many studies are showing that the piperine in black pepper supports the bioavailability of the curcumin in turmeric, making its anti-inflammatory power much more effective. Put a dollop of this bright kraut in a cup of warm broth and let the healing begin!

This flavorful gelatin-rich broth is made from Marin Sun Farms beef bones and browned meat (for flavor), filtered water, and a splash of apple cider vinegar to help draw out minerals. It is slowly simmered at just the right temperature for approximately 48 hours before being jarred. To maximize the nutritional value of our broth, we use only gelatin-rich knuckle and joint bones and beef feet.

To accommodate the needs of those on low- or no-salt diets or with other food sensitivities, we don't add anything else.

According to Dr. Thomas Cowan, co-founder of the Weston A. Price Foundation, "In healthy, traditional cultures, when an animal was slaughtered, all the parts were put to use, including the bones, to make mineral-rich broth. Our modern diet, having largely forgotten the use of broth as the basis of our cooking, is estimated to have less than half the mineral content of more traditional diets. This rich mineral content and the fact that soup broths greatly aid digestion are just two of the many reasons why everyone should make soup broth a part of their daily diet."

DO NOT FREEZE the beef bone broth in these jars. Although the jars are meant to be freezer-safe, we have found that the beef broth can still expand and crack the jar when frozen. You can transfer the broth to a different container to freeze it, or freeze it in ice cube trays for better portion control. We find that, unopened, the broth lasts for four weeks or more in the fridge, and should be consumed within 5 days of opening or thawing.

The term "broth" does not always mean the same thing to everyone. In the most commonly accepted usage, what we make is called "Bone Broth." It is the most gelatin-rich (meaning protein-rich) and mineral-rich of these variations, and cooked the longest. The term "broth" on its own (or "chicken broth" or "beef broth," etc.) usually means it was made with meat and little or no bones, cooked for a shorter time, less than 6 hours, and serves more as a flavoring base than a nutritional vehicle. "Stock" most often refers to bones simmered with vegetables and possibly herbs or whole spices, perhaps some meat, and is also usually cooked for less than 6 hours.

The trotters (feet) are the most gelatinous part of the hog, and so broth made from them is thick, nourishing and especially high in digestible protein. This broth is made from the fresh (unsmoked) trotters from Marin Sun Farms pasture-raised pigs, with a splash of Bernie's apple cider vinegar to help draw out minerals, and is gently cooked for 12-16 hours.

To accommodate the needs of those on low- or no-salt diets or with other food sensitivities, we don't add anything else.

You can simply heat the broth with a little salt and pepper, or tamari, fish sauce, coconut aminos, miso or any flavoring of your choice. Add it to enrich soups and stews (or use it as a base for your own soups), cook your rice or any starches in it, or braise a chop, boneless cut or stew meat and vegetables for dinner. Add a little cold broth to deglaze a frying pan with a spatula and capture all that stuck-on flavor from grilled meats to use in a sauce or gravy. 

Pork broth is traditionally valued by nursing mothers for increasing milk flow, and has been reputed to prevent wrinkles because it is so rich in bioavailable collagen! It also makes a delicious base for bean dishes, is great for cooking greens, and is perfect for Asian-style soups flavored with ginger and soy sauce.

Price Foundation, "In healthy, traditional cultures, when an animal was slaughtered, all the parts were put to use, including the bones, to make mineral-rich broth.

Sauerkraut brine is a wonderful tonic for the digestion, and recommended as a great way to rebuild the intestinal flora. This brine, harvested from our weekly krauts, can be consumed in small amounts to stimulate digestion — “brine shots” are a weekly ritual in our kitchen, and everyone was thrilled with the brine this week! Brine is also wonderful added to salad dressings, or even used instead of vinegar. Lastly, if you are culturing vegetables like sauerkraut at home, it acts as a perfect starter.
