Bone Broth

[Black_Spit]

-2x Cornish Hens
-approx 1 gallon of water
-3 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar (I've seen several sites that recommend using this to help -encourage the collagen and other nutrients out of the bone.
-I also add 2 tbsp salt though I've seen it recommended not to by at least one paleo site.
-Thyme
-Basil
-McCormick Rotisserie (contains salt and garlic and paprika and onion - no sugar sources) you don't need this but I love the way it looks on chicken so I use it for any chicken recipe.

I added the above to the crock pot at approx 6:00 last night. Approx 14 hours later (8:00 am) I strained the liquid using a sieve. Then I ate the meat for breakfast, and put the bones back into the newly strained liquid.

At Noon (18 total hours), I added the following -

3 stalks celery/chopped
3 garlic bulbs/chopped
2 green onion thingies/chopped
1 shallot onion/chopped

At 1:00 I strained the liquid again and set aside to cool and I ate the bones and vegetables that I strained out for lunch (yes really).

There's all kinds of good stuff in this broth, including glucosamine, collagen, proline, glycine, calcium, magnesium, and basically next to no carbohydrate. 1 stalk of celery has 1 gram I think. The amount of onion and garlic I used was negligible as well as far as carbohydtrate.

Most importantly it is delicious.

I know that the mineral Selenium as well as Iodine are major players in thyroid health. I just googled "Bone broth Selenium Iodine" and a quick search found that the broth does have some selenium and iodine, so if the person is deficient in those minerals, then I guess it would.
