Beef broth (or chicken) / water

Description

Beef broth has a deep, meaty aroma and an amber-brown color, while chicken broth is lighter, with a delicate, slightly sweet flavor; water is neutral and transparent. Both broths can be clear or slightly cloudy depending on the cooking process, and water serves as a universal base for flavor extraction. Broths provide low-calorie electrolytes and minerals, and especially with bone broths, collagen and amino acids that support the digestive system and joints, while water is essential for hydration and the functioning of all metabolic processes. In the kitchen, broths are used for soups, sauces, risottos, stews, and cooking grains, while water serves as a base for cooking and diluting. Store cooled broths in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days or freeze for up to 3 months, and heat water and broth to boiling before reuse; discard any product with an unpleasant smell.
