TAKING STOCK OF THE BONE BROTH TREND
Health, wellness and fitness communities around the globe have been making a fuss about bone broth for years now. Bone broth has actually been a part of many cultures’ traditional diets, only making its way into the trendy social-media ecosystem in recent history. WHAT IS BONE BROTH? Bone broth is a clear nutrient-dense soup that is made from cooking down animal bones, cartilage and meat. Bone broth can be made with beef, pork or even seafood. When you reduce and simmer down meat and cartilage from bones in boiling water, they melt and become tasty, nutritious, liquid gold. This slow-cooked meat stock is made from bones boiled long enough to allow the connective tissue and marrow to dissolve into a liquid: this takes a minimum of six, and up to 24, hours. A good broth should jiggle when cold because of the natural gelatine that’s plentiful in bones rich in connective tissue.
BOASTING THE BENEFITS OF BONE BROTH
Bone broth is mostly water and protein. The protein unique to broth comes in the form of gelatine dissolved from connective tissue and cartilage. Bone broth not only packs a protein punch, it also contains amino acids, the building blocks of protein in the body that perform several other important functions. The gelatine in broth contain a handful of these building blocks called proline, glycine and glutamine. In the nutrition world, these are called “conditionally essential amino acids”.
18
FENNEC
A jiggly, gelatine-rich broth is a naturally high source of nutrients known for strengthening the delicate villi that pave our intestinal lining. In the same way we use aloe vera gel on sunburn, emerging research from Italy has shown the potential role of gelatine in healing intestinal gutbarrier damage, which is common in coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and IBS. Bone broth is also a plentiful source of glutamine, which plays an important role in looking after the health of our gut lining. It boosts the immune system and encourages scar-tissue healing. Other studies suggest the collagen derived from chicken cartilage is effective at improving pain, stiffness and joint function in patients with osteoarthritis.
THE GLOBAL BROTH MARKET
Recent analysis from MarketWatch has noted that the production of bone broth is more cost-effective than other animal protein production and involves the use of by-product from the meat industry as input which is anticipated to drive manufacturers to invest more into the market, making it more sustainable and profitable. Added benefits like the presence of macro and micronutrients in good proportion with a high concentration of protein are expected to drive the consumer towards bone broth products as an
alternative to other protein sources resulting in substantial growth over the forecast period.
BONE BROTH’S NEW POPULARITY
Bone broth has found its place next to sauerkraut and kombucha as a health trend that’s hardly a new concept, but one that has seen an increase in demand over the last few years. Restaurants specialising in bone broth have popped up across the United States, and around the globe, there has been an increase in the consumption of healthy convenience food as consumers move towards products enriched with minerals to support their day-to-day health. Bone broth may once have existed in your great-grandmother's kitchen, now it’s a sexy superfood with massive growth potential.
The New Zealand Bone Broth revolution starts
here
Growing awareness of health and wellbeing is driving sales of Drinking Bone Broth around the globe. Following in the footsteps of the Kombucha revolution, it’s now a US$3 billion+ market with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of more than 4.5%. Greenlea Premier Meats has developed the Restore range of grass fed beef and free range chicken broths to deliver the tastiest and most beneficial drinking broths for New Zealand consumers.

ALL THE FUN, BUT WITHOUT THE HANGOVER
THE AVIATION THAT FLIES FREE FROM ALCOHOL The Aviation is a classic cocktail made with gin, maraschino liqueur, crème de violette, and lemon juice created by Hugo Ensslin, head bartender at the Hotel Wallick in New York, in the early twentieth century. Harry Craddock’s influential Savoy Cocktail Book (1930) omitted the crème de violette and many later bartenders have followed Craddock’s lead, leaving out the difficult-to-find violet liqueur.
INGREDIENTS:
HOW TO:
• 2 shots (60mls) Terps & Co gin-like
• Add gin-like, lemon juice, and liqueur to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until cold. Strain into a coupe glass, then garnish with a lemon twist. Extra Maraschino cherry brine can always be added for those with a sweeter tooth.
Luckily, Terps & Co’s gin-like already has a beautiful light purple hue, making it the perfect non-alcoholic alternative for this classic drink.

Regardless of where it came from, Margarita are very popular, especially for sharing and this recipe is for a jug which will make approximately four servings.
INGREDIENTS:
HOW TO:
• Salt to serve
• Place salt on a plate. Run the cut side of the lime around the rims of serving glasses. Dip in the salt to coat.
• 1 lime, halved • 3 cups sparkling apple juice • 2 tsp finely grated lime rind • 2 tbsp lime juice
• Place sparkling apple juice, lime rind, lime juice and ice in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour evenly among the glasses.
