GAPS Stage 1
Using The Meat After Making Chicken Stock
Chicken Stock. A crucial food for building back a healthy, strong body and a mainstay of GAPS. After making Chicken Stock, the meat has a plethora of uses. Still rich in goodness and value.
The meat from Chicken Stock is still a nutritional power-house !
-
Protein Content: The meat retains most of its high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair, immune function, and overall body maintenance.
-
Mineral Preservation: Minerals like zinc, selenium, and phosphorus remain largely intact, supporting bone health, immune system, and metabolic processes.
-
Reduced Fat: Boiling for stock has extracted most of the fat, making the remaining meat a leaner protein source.
-
Collagen Extraction: While much of the collagen has been drawn into the stock, some beneficial proteins remain in the meat that support joint and skin health.
-
Nutrient Density: Despite stock-making, the chicken meat still provides valuable B vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin, which are crucial for energy metabolism and neurological functions.
