Description

Beef broth is a flavorful liquid obtained by cooking meat and bones in water, usually along with vegetables and spices, for an extended period. This fundamental ingredient in cooking provides an intense and deep flavor that enriches soups, stews, sauces, and various dishes.

Its origin is ancient and it is found in almost all the world's cuisines, where it is used as a base to prepare recipes with a more complex flavor profile. Traditionally, beef broth is made with cuts of beef, but it can also include chicken or pork, depending on the culinary use.

Among its properties, its richness in nutrients such as collagen, minerals (calcium, phosphorus), and some proteins that are released during slow cooking stands out. Additionally, beef broth provides hydration and a highly appreciated umami flavor in home cooking.

In Latin America, beef broth may go by various names or synonyms, such as: beef stock, beef broth, or simply base broth. These terms are often used interchangeably depending on the region and culinary context.
