Please The Palate Pick of the Week: Osso Good Bone Broths

Each year as we look forward to the new year, something we aspire to is eating well. But eating healthily and eating clean is something we should do year round and now it is easy to do with Osso Good Bone Broths, the Please The Palate pick of the week. Bone Broth is a stock but so much more. Bone broth is made from animal bones and connective tissue that have been boiled into a broth and slowly simmered for 12 to 24 hours. Bone Broth is beneficial for a variety of health issues and is a source of protein, collagen and gelatin. The Osso Good Company was started by Meredith Cochran and two partners, Jazz Hilmer and Toran Hilmer. Originally from Wisconsin, Meredith was working in a hospital where the food was not fresh or organic when she realized that we should care about the food that we put into our bodies. After moving to San Francisco, she began studying Chinese medicine and that is when she was introduced to bone broth. In traditional Chinese medicine, bone broth is used as a digestive, as a blood builder and to strengthen the kidneys due to the high collagen content, anti-inflammatory amino acids, and healing compounds that can only be found in bones and connective tissue.
