Bone broth is naturally rich in collagen, protein, and minerals and may be beneficial for supporting gut health and immunity. When you’re shopping for bone broth, quality ingredients matter. Kettle & Fire Classic Chicken Bone Broth is made using organic free range chicken bones and simmered for at least 14 hours. It’s delicious to sip on its own or for incorporating into recipes.
