one broth has become a revered elixir and is

particularly tasty in your to-go cup on chilly

days. It contains calcium, magnesium and

phosphorus — good for bone growth and

repair — plus glucosamine, an anti-inflam-

matory that reduces joint and back pain. Go figure that

boiled bones would provide a broth so nourishing for

our bones, digestive and immune systems.

But making a healthy and rich broth isn’t as simple

as boiling any old bunch of bones. Rather, the best broth

starts with bones and cuts of meat that are high in

collagen, which are then simmered low and slow with

veggies, herbs and other nourishing ingredients.

Given the time and technique required, you’d be for-

given for wanting someone else to prepare your bone

broth. Enter Bo & Marrow, which uses Alberta-sourced

bones and produce. Co-founder Diane Williams started

making broth to address her mental and physical malaise

and found it had numerous benefits, from boosting her

energy to clearing her skin. The flavours, which taste as

good as they heal, come in mushroom, beef and chicken,

or try a batch infused with Chinese herbs.
