Why Best of the Bone Belongs in Your Pantry

Want real bone broth without spending hours over the stove? Best of the Bone creates concentrated bone broth gels and collagen-rich products using grass-fed, pasture-raised bones slow-cooked for maximum nutrient extraction. At Wholefood Merchants, we carry this Australian brand's range so you can stir genuine bone broth nutrition into your meals, drinks, and daily routine with zero prep.

What Makes Best of the Bone Special?

Best of the Bone takes the traditional approach to bone broth and concentrates it into a shelf-stable gel. The bones are sourced from certified grass-fed, pasture-raised Australian cattle and simmered for extended periods to extract collagen, gelatin, amino acids, and minerals. No powders, no additives, no shortcuts.

The result is a concentrated gel that dissolves instantly in hot water, soups, or cooking. One jar lasts weeks, and you get the nutritional depth of homemade broth without the 24-hour simmer. For anyone who values nutrient-dense whole foods, this is the most practical way to get bone broth into your diet consistently.

What Goes Into Best of the Bone

Grass-fed beef bones form the base - knuckle, marrow, and joint bones chosen for their collagen and mineral content. Extended slow cooking extracts type I, II, and III collagen along with glycine, proline, and glutamine. Some flavoured varieties include turmeric, garlic, or Italian herb blends for ready-to-use seasoning.

No preservatives, no flavour enhancers, no fillers. The ingredient list is short enough to read in a single breath. The gel format preserves nutrients better than powder processing, keeping the gelatin and collagen in their whole-food form.

How to Use Best of the Bone

Versatility is the real strength here. Bone broth gel fits into meals you are already making.

Instant Bone Broth

Scoop a tablespoon into a mug, add boiling water, stir, and drink. The most direct way to get a daily serve. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for a savoury morning ritual or afternoon pick-up.

Soups and Stews

Stir into any soup or stew as a flavour base. The gel dissolves completely and adds depth, body, and nutrition without changing your recipe. Use it anywhere you would use stock cubes but with real food instead of processed powder.

Sauces and Gravies

Add a spoonful to pan sauces, gravies, and reductions. The natural gelatin adds richness and body that lifts home-cooked meals to restaurant quality. Particularly good with roasts and slow-cooked dishes.

Stir-Fries and Grain Bowls

Dissolve a small amount into the liquid base of stir-fries, risottos, or grain bowls. It melts into the dish seamlessly and boosts the nutritional profile without changing the flavour direction.

Smoothies and Protein Shakes

Blend into warm smoothies or mix into protein shakes for added collagen. The mild flavour disappears into chocolate or berry blends. Pair with Nutra Organics collagen products for a double dose of gut-supporting nutrition.

Family-Friendly Uses

Bone broth gel is one of the easiest nutrient boosts to sneak into family meals. Stir into spaghetti bolognese, chicken soup, or mashed potatoes. Kids never notice the difference but get the benefit of collagen and amino acids with every serve. Keep a jar in the pantry alongside your other cooking staples.

Support for Gut Health and Recovery

Bone broth has been used for centuries to support gut lining, joint health, and recovery. The gelatin and amino acids in Best of the Bone support the gut wall, while collagen contributes to skin, hair, and nail health over time. Athletes and active people use it alongside their training nutrition for joint support and faster recovery.
