Bone broth
Bones and connective tissue simmered down into a savory, gelatin-rich stock
Bones, joints and connective tissue simmered for hours until collagen breaks down into gelatin, then strained and drunk as a savory stock or used as a soup base. It carries protein, glycine and minerals, and it shows up in routines as a light first meal or as the thing that breaks an overnight fast. Claims about gut lining and joint repair run well ahead of the evidence, and the protein per cup is modest next to an actual meal. Made from a butcher's offcuts it costs almost nothing; cartons and powders cost a good deal more.
