It’s Here! Ki’s Kitchen Vegetarian Bone Broth Recipe!

It seems that everywhere we go these days people are talking about the virtues of bone broth. Its healing properties are vast and can include so many benefits but what about Vegetarian Bone Broth Recipe?

• Immune boosting support from minerals
• Reduced inflammation in joints from glucosamine
• Increased absorption and healing of the gut and intestinal tract from collagen
• Improved strength of hair, skin, and nails
• Increased hydration and even weight loss
• Improved cognitive function

These benefits sound pretty good, right?

However, what are the options for vegetarian or plant-based eaters?

At Ki’s Kitchen, we worked tirelessly in our test kitchen to come up with a recipe that would mimic the benefits of traditional bone broth, but without the bones.

Say what? That sounds like an oxymoron – “jumbo shrimp, anyone?

Here is what we did:

1. Replaced the bones with miso. Miso has long been recognized for its amazing health benefits. In fact, its list of virtues is similar to that of bone broth (immune support, reduced inflammation, healing of the gut, weight loss, improved absorption, etc).
2. Added in more vegetables, specifically, dark leafy greens, which are known for the large content of vitamin K (activates several proteins which aid in healing bone and joints), iron (boosts immunity, improves cognitive health, reduces fatigue), and the mineral copper (supports the maturation of collagen).
3. Added turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties, ability to boost memory, and its delicious flavour.
4. Stirred in sesame seeds, which are rich in protein and iron, as well as important minerals like copper, magnesium, manganese, calcium, and selenium.
5. Supplemented the already great flavour with pink salt, which contains many important minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium. Pink salt is thought to increase hydration, reduce muscle cramps, and balance blood sugar.

And now, we are thrilled to share the recipe with you.
