Fish broth is from Atlantic catch. The whole fish and the bones boiled for several hours! What a time saver to have the farm do this for you. The broth is made without vegetables (for those who have sensitivities to various veggies).
Broth is made with fish heads and carcasses which provide iodine and thyroid-strengthening substances. This is excellent for pregnant and post-partum moms who need their thyroid nourished.
The resulting broth (aka homemade bone stock) is very mineral rich, gelatinous, loaded with calcium, collagen (for your skin), glycine, and properties which aid digestion and improve protein assimilation.
Use the broth instead of water when you make rice, and use it as a soup or sauce base. Or warm it up and drink it straight from a mug. Ideal when making baby food puree since it adds great flavor and helps foods be more easily digested.

Reducing Effects of Phthalate Exposure "Plenty of homemade bone broths in the diet on a regular basis is a dietary strategy that can help tremendously with any phthalate exposure that does occur despite a womans best efforts. Bone broth is extremely high in the amino acid glycine via natural gelatin which is essential for the liver to adequately perform its detoxification duties. In fact, the liver is greatly hampered if there isnt enough glycine in the diet so it makes sense to consume liberal amounts of bone broth which includes glycine in a form that is very easily absorbed."

BROTH IS BEAUTIFUL".
Peasant societies still make broth. It is a necessity in cultures that do not use milk because only stock made from bones and dairy products provides calcium in a form that the body can easily assimilate. It is also a necessity when meat is a luxury item, because gelatin in properly made broth helps the body use protein in an efficient way.
