What is bone broth, exactly?
It’s a good question. The rich, savoury smell of bone broth has wafted around kitchens and campfires since ancient times. Rich or poor, queen or tribeswoman, people having been drinking it neat or using it in cooking for millennia.
It’s revered. Just ask South Americans – they’ve got a proverb that sums it up perfectly:
“Bone broth will resurrect the dead.”
That’s quite a claim. To be fair, it’s packed with essential nutrients that boost your immunity and general health. It also tastes fantastic.
You could call bone broth the fuel of humanity.
How is bone broth made?
At Wishbone, we create it the traditional way. Higher-welfare animal bones nestle in with vegetables, herbs and pure water. Then, nature takes its course as everything gently simmers away.
We also use a pressure cooker to intensify the flavour, boost nutrition and reduce energy wastage. The result is well worth the wait – a smooth, unctuous broth with a real umami feel in your mouth. It’s how we’ve always made it … though bigger pots come into play these days.
Our process is eco-conscious, nose-to-tail cooking. Rooting our cooking in tradition, with some modern touches, is such a powerful feeling
Isn’t that just stock?
No, though there are similarities.
Stock is usually made to blend with other flavours as an ingredient. You’ll happily eat it in a soup, stew or braise, but you wouldn’t necessarily drink it from a cup. Stock is usually unseasoned.
Bone broth, on the other hand, packs a serious taste punch and is full of collagen-rich protein. It’s a meal in a mug, and a great store cupboard standby for all sorts of recipes.
Thanks to the power of Wishbone, you’ll turn tired veg into wholesome soup in moments.

Benefits of bone broth
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” – Hippocrates
You’re probably aware of the difference a healthy diet makes to your life.
We all feel better when we eat well.
People are starting to remember what our ancestors knew instinctively – bone broth is really, really good for us. It’s at the heart of the human diet for good reasons. A lovingly prepared broth like ours is restorative, improving our mental and emotional health as much as our physical aspect.
Doctors and nutritionists promote bone broth as a superfood thanks to the range of benefits it offers your body. For us, the power of a tasty broth shot is almost meditative. It gives you whatever you need, be it relaxation or dynamism.
Boost your immune system
If you consume it regularly, bone broth will help reduce any inflammation in your body. Feel your cells rejuvenating and your immune system seeing off any unwanted bugs. Grab it if you feel a sniffle coming on – it may help prevent colds and other ailments.
Heal your gut
A daily dose of bone broth medicine can optimise your gut health and calm any food sensitivities. If you’re dealing with conditions such as leaky gut syndrome (LGS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or Crohn’s disease, it’s especially helpful. A broth cleanse is a flavoursome way to reset your digestive system.
Give glow to you skin, hair and nails
Wishbone is your skin’s secret weapon. A regular mugful improves elasticity and softens lines and puffiness. It’s also packed with collagen, helping your hair and nails to grow. It might even help with cellulite.
Regulate your blood sugar
Bone broth’s high protein content, combined with its low
carb levels, make it a fighting force when it comes to balancing your blood sugar. It may help with diabetes as well.
Helps Weight Management
Wishbone broth is brimming with protein which, as you probably know, keeps you feeling satiated. If you’re prone to snacking, heat up a tub to keep your tummy satisfied.
Start the day with our broth. A morning shot helps your body absorb all the goodness, and curbs food cravings throughout the day. That’s why the Keto, Paleo, Whole 30 and Intermittent Fasting diets all sing bone broth’s praises.
Keep your muscles, bones and joints fighting fit
Glycine helps you to fall asleep, and maximises the quality of your doze. It also boosts your serotonin levels, lifting your mood and aiding relaxation. Fortunately, bone broth has plenty of this important amino acid.
Yes, you’ve probably heard the buzz about this wonder nutrient, one of the most abundant proteins in your body. It’s responsible for the health and elasticity of your skin, and is plays a starring role in your hair, nail and dental health. As we age, our body produces it more slowly, so it’s important to get extra from your diet. Collagen helps with digestive issues and cellulite too.
Wishbone broth is rich in bioavailable collagen. That means your body digests it easily and put it to work straight away. Give yourself a regular hit and it’ll support your body’s own collagen production, keeping everything ticking over nicely.
