Heal your skin with mineral broth
BY OLIVIA ABELLA
Have you heard of mineral broth? While bone broth is well-known for its collagen benefits, mineral broth is a lesser-known gem that deserves attention. What sets mineral broth apart is that it is vegan and packed with the goodness of nutrient-rich vegetables, herbs, and seaweeds. These ingredients provide powerful vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals that are especially beneficial during detoxification. Discover how to heal your skin with mineral broth and unlock its rejuvenating potential today!
Not only is mineral broth great for your skin, but it’s also incredibly easy to prepare. Enjoy it on its own or use it as a base for soups and stews. By incorporating this nourishing broth into your routine, you can not only enhance the health and appearance of your skin but also boost your overall well-being.
Let’s explore the skin-loving ingredients of this broth!
To achieve optimal nutrition your broth must include ingredients from the following categories: Root vegetables, Seaweed, herbs & Spices & fermented beans
Root vegetables
The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in root vegetables can help your skin stay hydrated and protect it from damage from free radicals.
Select at least 2-3 vegetables from the following list:
Carrots, beets, turnips, Black radish & onions.
PS: When incorporating this broth into your detox regimen, don’t forget to include the potent ingredients of black radish and onions, known for their remarkable support in promoting liver health.
Herbs & spices
To enhance the benefits for your skin, make sure to include key ingredients such as cilantro, ginger, garlic, and parsley in your broth. These powerful additions possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and detoxifying properties that contribute to promoting and maintaining healthy skin.
Seaweed
Incorporating iodine-rich seaweed into the broth is crucial because iodine plays a fundamental role in maintaining optimal thyroid function. The thyroid gland is responsible for producing hormones that regulate various bodily functions, including skin health.
When the thyroid gland is functioning properly, it supports cell regeneration, which is essential for maintaining healthy and youthful-looking skin. Cell regeneration helps repair damaged skin cells and promotes the growth of new, healthy cells, contributing to a smoother and more radiant complexion.
Miso
Last but not least, this fermented soybean paste not only imparts a savory flavor but also provides probiotics and enzymes that promote gut health, leading to improved digestion, nutrient absorption, and ultimately enhancing skin’s clarity and glow.
Let’s get cooking!
In 3 easy steps you can have a broth ready for weeks to come.
1. Prepping the vegetables
To prepare the mineral broth, start by heating 6 cups of water in a large pot or slow cooker. As the water warms up, prepare the vegetables by chopping them into chunky pieces. If the vegetables are organic, you can leave the skin on for added nutrients. You will need 6 organic carrots, 2 beets, 1 black radish, 1 sweet potato, 1 yellow onion, a piece of ginger, and 2 garlic cloves.
Next, cut the herbs, including cilantro and parsley, into smaller pieces. Additionally, add a piece of kombu, a type of seaweed known for its rich mineral content.
2. Simmering to perfection!
Once the water is hot, add all the vegetables, kombu and spices to the pot, except for the miso paste. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for a minimum of 5-6 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
If you prefer using a slow cooker, you can transfer the ingredients to the cooker and let it cook overnight. The slow cooking process will further enhance the flavors and nutrient extraction.
3. Ready to sip!
Once the broth has simmered for the desired duration, strain the liquid to separate it from the vegetable solids. You can save the vegetable solids to use in other soups or dishes.
Now, it’s time to add the miso paste to the broth. Miso paste not only adds a delicious savory flavor but also acts as a healthy alternative to salt. Add the miso paste according to your taste preferences, adjusting the amount to achieve your desired flavor profile.
After adding the miso paste, give the broth a gentle stir to incorporate it evenly. Remember to store the broth in the refrigerator if you plan to consume it within the next two days. For any remaining broth, consider pouring it into large silicone cube trays. This way, you can easily store and freeze individual portions, ready to be used as a flavorful base for soups, grains, or even sipped on its own.
Enjoy the nourishing and flavorful mineral broth, knowing that it’s not only delicious but also packed with beneficial nutrients for your body and skin.
