Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 , Do you know how long a bone broth keeps in the fridge? I like to make them too, but don't want to freeze them. - <thecolemans4@...> wrote: A super wonderful solution to the calcium problem is bone broths - made from chicken w/ bones, or made from beef marrow bones and something else like short-ribs or oxtails. *** Homemade is the only way to get this benefit, but it's really easy. Chicken broth can be used in soooo much, and both broths also contain gelatin - which is a superior digestive aid (not OTC supplements 'cause MSG is made during processing) and has major gut-healing properties. You can also boil it down to make sauces, or use it in soups, or clarify it, flavor it, and drink it straight. The calcium is more absorbable than most, too. Think about it - straight out of the bones. I could post recipes, as well as " nutritional benefits " later... --- princesspeach <donnaaron@...> wrote: > Hi all, > > I've got a question regarding getting enough calcium > into my little guy. > > is 8.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 The accepted seems to be two weeks. If there's a good fat layer, maybe another week. If you're nearing the two week mark and don't feel positive, you can re-boil it and hang on another week or so I think. I'm a bit ocd about that, so I start boiling mine before use at about a week, but I don't think that's necessary - I just have to. I don't have any issues with freezing it though... why? --- Rob or Sunseri <RobRose@...> wrote: > , > > Do you know how long a bone broth keeps in the > fridge?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I did not know they could last that long, I probably have been wasting unnecessarily by discarding them too soon. Freezing lowers the quality of any protein food, best to use meats/broths fresh, but certainly not the worst thing in the world to freeze them. I also have a small freezer! - <thecolemans4@...> wrote: The accepted seems to be two weeks. If there's a good fat layer, maybe another week.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I don't think I would take the chance of getting food poisoning. I would freeze after 3 days in the frig. --- Rob or Sunseri <RobRose@...> wrote: > I did not know they could last that long, I probably > have been wasting unnecessarily by discarding them > too soon.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Re: risking food poisoning, first, you can always count on it to be good for 5 days... that's the general recommendation for most foods cooked at home (a few variations but a good rule to live by). With bone broths, if you put them in mason jars when it's still rather hot, seal it tight, leave the fat layer on top, cool it in the sink before putting them in the fridge, you easily go up to a week to 10 days without any concern, because of the way it is stored. But you can also rely on smell. If it smells funky, don't use it! And you can also reboil it before use any time it passes that 5 day mark up to... lets be extra cautious to 10 days ... based on smell. I'm not really disagreeing w/Barb, though... I haven't had a batch YET that I didn't reboil after 3 days and then freeze. W/bone broths, I'm not sure about the amount of protein... I'm under the impression it's more about the calcium and gelatin, and it's protein-sparing (digesting and utilizing the protein more efficiently so you get by w/less?) benefits, so for those seeking calcium and digestive benefits, I don't think freezing would reduce those benefits... To save space, I have put mine in good freezer bags... But alas that is a multi-step process that I only complete when I'm lucky. Now if I can only remember (even once!) to mark the date I made it!
