Karen Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 How about gelatin? http://gelatininnovations.com/pages/joint_care.html I drop water weight on this stuff like crazy, but I'm out (and bloated!) and wondering if I should get some more or wait until after my Whole30. I'd usually mix it with some juice as this kind doesn't firm up, but can find another way to sneak it in there. My bone broths haven't turned out so far, so I'm hoping this is an acceptable option!

Renee Lee Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Although this doesn't look explicitly not approved, I'd still avoid it. It says it comes from beef hide and it's gluten free, but i'd be concerned with other potential fillers. (vegetable sourced gelatins, etc) How have you been making the bone broths? and what kind? I find chicken broth to be the hardest to mess up. Beef broths can taste "off" if you don't roast/season the bones well before tossing them in the crock. (I'm also probably biased because I don't _love_ beef broth, but...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 I've made both the beef and chicken bone broth. The beef was definitely the funkier of the two and I'm almost out of the chicken. I'm not one to drink it straight up, though, so I get it sporadically when I make soup or cook with a little bit at a time. My former nutritionist recommended that brand and I know she's pretty picky about her sources so I'll dig around a bit more, see if I can find any additional info on fillers. I wouldn't have even thought about that, so thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny M Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I don't love beef broth either until I doctor it up...then I kind of love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
befabdaily Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I always add fresh-squeezed lemon and lots of salt to my bone broth and then I can slurp it up. I plan to experiment with cooking up some beef tendon, Chinese style. I always love it when it's present in my pho, and I've eaten big dishes of braised beef tendons before and they are delicious. That's pretty much pre-gelatin in its purest form but it's also kind of an acquired taste (or texture). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Can't do the egg, though the soup looks delish! Could play around with that. I have a huge container of beef broth ice cubes in my freezer just sitting there... And I can't do lemon, either, to spice it up! Just can't get past a funky sharp taste. Maybe I just need to scrap this batch and start anew... Where does one buy beef tendons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adagio Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I don't like the beef broth unless I brown the bones. It also depends on the cow, lol. Sometimes I've had absolutely delicious beef bone broth, then other times, meh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDuchess Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Not sure what you mean by messing it up but if what you are aiming for is broth that sets up like jello (the holy grail of broth) then my trick is not to skimp on the chicken feet- and chicken broth has always been easier for us than beef. I use great lakes pastured gelatin and am trying to figure out if it is whole30 complaint : ) best of luck with your journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
