Smoky Paleo Pork Broth with Shiitake

Some may just tell you that bone broth is just a fancy word for beef, pork, or chicken stock— but any seasoned Paleo person knows better. It's not a new food by any means, but bone broths have made quite a comeback as many food bloggers, TV show hosts and celebrities from Chef Tom Colicchio to Al Roker swear by it and say that the vitamins and minerals you get from roasting and simmering the bones for a few hours alleviate joint pain, boost the immune system, strengthen hair and nails and even rejuvenate hair. You can see that with the reported benefits why so many would be flocking to make their own. Unfortunately, sometimes these can fall flat in the flavor department and just be a messy headache. Luckily for those of you reading this, we're going to give you a tip:

Get the Bone Broth from Bare Bones Broth. It's premade, it's preseasoned, it's perfect— and they feature broth from pastured and grass-fed animals.
Of course, you can drink Bone Broth straight, but its oh-so-good when it's utilized for adding depth and flavor to a dish.
