Why were the mushrooms added?
Mushrooms have been used throughout history in Traditional Medicine for centuries. They are famous for their health benefits and unique flavour. They are known for their antioxidant properties, beneficial polysaccharides, immuno supporting functions and many other positive functions. Science is still discovering exciting findings about them and their mechanisms, so they are constantly in the spotlight!
What do the mushrooms taste like?
Majority of mushrooms have a particular smokiness about them with shiitake having the most distinct and popular flavour. The roundness of the smokey flavour compliments the delicate savoury broth while adding a soft aroma.
Where does Beef Bone Broth come from?
All beef bones utilised for our beef bone broths are derived solely from Australian grass-fed cattle. Our broth also contains a small amount of beef broth concentrate that is made from New Zealand grass-fed cattle and Australian grass-fed cattle.
Are the cattle grass-fed?
If there's one thing we are passionate about here at Nutra Organics, aside from food of course, it's animals and their welfare. Although our cattle are grass-fed, in the interest of full disclosure there are times when environmental factors, such as severe drought here in Australia that our cattle's diets are supplemented with wholesome non-gmo grain fodder (hay or straw) to ensure their survival. However, please be assured that if grass is available to be eaten, they are exclusively eating it.
Why is Apple Cider Vinegar added?
Apple Cider Vinegar is acidic, which makes it great for naturally enhancing the extraction of collagen and other nutritious elements from the bone to ensure that our bone broth contains all the possible benefits.
What type of collagen is in Beef Bone Broth?
The Collagen peptides in our Beef Bone Broth are derived from Types I and III collagen.
How are deactivated nutritional savoury flakes made?
They are made from a single-celled organism called Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown on molasses. They are harvested, washed and dried with heat to 'deactivate' them and then rolled to form flakes.
Are deactivated nutritional savoury flakes fortified with vitamins?
Nutritional Yeast Flakes are fortified with vitamins in the initial stages of growth. As the yeast grows they organically bind to these vitamins and proliferate them. The yeast itself also digests these vitamins to a degree and proliferates its own nutrient content creating a naturally vitamin rich food that can easily be incorporated into all savoury meals.
What does "deactivated" nutritional savoury flakes mean?
Deactivated is a term used to describe the quick heating process that stops nutritional yeast from being able to proliferate any further. Just like good and bad bacteria, there are good and bad yeasts that exist within our digestive tract. Unlike unhealthy yeasts such as Candida spp., nutritional yeast is made from a healthful yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae which helps to stop unhealthy yeasts from colonising in the digestive tract by a process of displacement. Therefore even though nutritional yeast is deactivated and unable to proliferate in the body, it is still having the favourable effects of a beneficial yeast in the digestive tract.
Is it gluten free?
Yes! The recipes do not contain any gluten containing ingredients and further we make sure that they are manufactured and packed free from gluten contamination. Lastly we validify this with product testing.
Is it pregnancy & breastfeeding friendly?
Yes! In saying this, we do advise to seek the advice of your primary health care professional if taking any of our products for the first time if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We only say so as we believe that every pregnancy is different, taking a toll differently on each individual body in vitamin, mineral and energy levels. We invite you to research the product to ensure that you are not sensitive to any particular ingredients.
Why do our broths sparkle?
Our broths are so special that they even sparkle! This is because we have used a gentle refractance drying technique to preserve the nutrients and colour. No, we have not added any glitter. Due to the gentle evaporation process that occurs as part of the refractance drying method, the raw material starts to change shape to form small crystalline structures that naturally reflect light making it sparkle.
Are there heavy metals in the Beef Bone Broth?
Bone is known to act as a reservoir for essential metals and other minerals in the body, which is one of the reasons that bone broth is so nutritious. Having said that, because of this, there is also sometimes the concern that undesirable substances like heavy metals may be present too. Rest assured, that all of our raw ingredients are tested and must comply with strict food standards pertaining to heavy metal detection prior to being used in our products.
