Bones are packed with collagen. That’s the stuff that makes your skin glow and your joints stop creaking.
When you simmer them for hours, the collagen turns into gelatin. It’s like bone Jell-O, but savory.
Crazy fact: Real bone broth will jiggle when cold. If yours doesn’t, you didn’t cook it long enough. Or you used too much water. No judgment.
The “Garbage” is the Star
You know those veggie scraps you toss? Stop it. Save them in a bag in your freezer.
Onion skins? Garlic peels? Carrot tops? Yes, yes, and yes. They add depth and color. It feels like a tiny act of rebellion against food waste.
Your slow cooker is a composter of deliciousness. It turns scraps into something you’d pay eight dollars for at a hipster café.
