Guest guest Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I live near a supermarket that caters to the Hispanic population and carries chicken feet. It is the only store in this end of the state that I know of that has these. They make a chicken stock that would rival anything a world class chef could produce. I just put them in a crockpot with the usual veggies to make stock, and always include some apple cider vinegar to pull all the minerals out of the bones. Once strained, this stock starts to gel (collagen) almost before it's cool. Those feet may look weird, but oh boy are they nutritious!

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Actually in theory you are correct; but in truth that product is empty of the nutrients it should have. Unfortunately one needs to make the broth from scratch if it is the nutritional aspects of stocks that they need. And the cartilage, collagen, gelatin as well as the minerals that are needed can't be found in the commercial product because of the way it is made. Those chicken feet have some of the nutrients that are needed - put then into a stock pot with a lot of bones. You will find some recipes for stock here Broth is Beautiful by Sally Fallon http://www.westonaprice.org/Broth-is-Beautiful.html This recipe is very good - but it is for a lot of people so just put in half of the ingredients........... Hearty Beef Soup broth is very rich in gelatin, good for the joints and overall immune system health. This is also a very economical recipe to feed a lot of people http://www.westonaprice.org/Hearty-Beef-Soup.html This below explains why you need those chicken feet or beef knuckles & tendons and feet, etc. Why Broth is Beautiful-- " Essential " Roles for Proline, Glycine and Gelatin Remember also that the amino acids in gelatin, like all amino acids, can only be properly utilized when the diet contains sufficient fat-soluble activators--vitamins A & D--found exclusively in animal fats. So don't hesitate to put cream in your broth-based soups & sauces + include other sources of vitamins A & D in your diet, such as butter, egg yolks & cod liver oil. As for using gelatin today for therapeutic benefits, the highest quality product would come from making gelatin at home using skins, cartilage & bones from organic chicken or meat. Gelatin helps the liver. This is plausible in that the liver uses the amino acid glycine for detoxification, & its ability to detoxify is limited by the amount of glycine available. Therapeutic doses of cartilage (which always contains copious amounts of proline & glycine) dramatically improved rheumatoid arthritis as well as other degenerative joint conditions & inflammatory bowel diseases.41 Edgar Cayce recommended that gelatin be consumed to help the assimilation of vitamins, help the glands function better & to optimize energy & health. Doctors ordered, not only to heal digestive disorders & the intestinal mucosa but all allergies. http://www.westonaprice.org/Why-Broth-is-Beautiful-Essential-Roles-for-Proline-G\ lycine-and-Gelatin.html Traditional Bone Broth in Modern Health and Disease Broth, made from the bones of animals, has been consumed as a source of nourishment for humankind throughout the ages. A traditional remedy across cultures for the sick & weak. A classic folk treatment for colds & flu, it has also been used historically for ailments that affect connective tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract, the joints, the skin, the lungs, the muscles & the blood.

It should thicken, even to the point of jelling completely, when refrigerated. If your broth is still runny when chilled, you may add a little powdered gelatin (see Sources) to thicken it. Bear in mind, however, that some people have reactions to commercially prepared gelatin, which will contain small amounts of free glutamic acid, similar to MSG. Your stock will also thicken more when it is reduced by boiling down. Clear stock will keep about five days in the refrigerator, longer if reboiled, & several months in the freezer. You may find it useful to store stock in pint-sized or quart-sized containers in order to have appropriate amounts on hand for sauces & stews. If space is at a premium in your freezer, you can reduce the stock by boiling down for several hours until it becomes very concentrated & syrupy. This reduced, concentrated stock-called fumée or demi-glace-can be stored in small containers or zip-lock bags. Frozen fumée in zip-lock bags is easily thawed by putting the bags under hot running water. Add water to thawed fumée to turn it back into stock. Be sure to mark the kind of stock or fumée you are storing with little stick-on labels-they all look alike when frozen. blessings Shan , Alobar <Alobar wrote: > > Unflavored Knox gelatin can also be added to smoothies. > > Alobar > > On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 3:21 PM, Dave Hermanson <moonphish wrote: > > > > I met with an Asian Nutritionist who suggested beef tendons and chicken feet for osteoarthritis. > > > > I found both in an Asian food store and, although I don't think I could ever do the chicken feet, I have been cooking beef tendons in a crock pot and adding it to smoothies with a blend tech blender and can't taste it.
