Using chicken feet in your homemade stock offers several significant benefits:

Rich Collagen Source: Chicken feet are incredibly rich in collagen, a protein that provides numerous health benefits.

Joint Health: Collagen supports joint health by cushioning joints and reducing inflammation.

Skin, Hair, and Nails: Collagen improves skin elasticity, strengthens hair, and promotes healthy nail growth.

Gut Health: Collagen can help heal and repair the gut lining.

Flavour Depth: Chicken feet contribute significantly to the richness and depth of flavor in your stock. They impart a savory, slightly gelatinous quality.

Nutrient-Dense: Chicken feet are a good source of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.

Cost-Effective: Chicken feet are often relatively inexpensive, making them a budget-friendly way to enhance your stock.

Sustainability: Utilizing all parts of the chicken promotes sustainable cooking practices.

How to Use Chicken Feet in Stock:

Clean Thoroughly: Wash the chicken feet thoroughly under cold water to remove any debris.

Roast (Optional): Roasting the chicken feet before simmering can enhance the flavor of the stock.

Simmer: Add the chicken feet to your stockpot along with other ingredients like bones, vegetables, and herbs. Simmer for several hours (or even longer for maximum collagen extraction).

Strain: Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the chicken feet and other solids.

Important Note:
Appearance: Chicken feet may look unusual, but they are a valuable ingredient for making rich and flavorful stock.
By incorporating chicken feet into your homemade stock, you can create a truly nutritious and flavorful broth that will enhance your soups, stews, and other dishes.

Whipped Tallow Lotion

I used tallow, coconut oil and avocado oil.

Avocado Oil: This oil is packed with vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin E. It's great for moisturizing and repairing damaged skin.

Coconut oil is a great addition as it adds moisture and has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Coconut oil not only adds moisture and beneficial fats to your lotion but also imparts a lovely, natural coconut scent. It's a fantastic choice for a fragrant and nourishing skincare product.

I made tallow today.

Here are the benefits of homemade tallow:

1) Nutrient-rich:
Tallow is a source of healthy fats, including saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
It also contains fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and other nutrients.

2)Skin benefits:
The fatty acids in tallow are similar to the natural oils in our skin. This makes it a great moisturizer and can help soothe dry, irritated skin. It may also be beneficial for conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

3)Cooking benefits:
Tallow has a high smoke point, making it ideal for high-heat cooking methods like frying and searing.
It also imparts a rich flavour to food.

4)Sustainable:
Making your own tallow allows you to use a byproduct from your food waste, reducing the amount of waste that goes to the landfill.

5)Cost-effective:
Once you have the initial investment in equipment, making your own tallow is much cheaper than buying it pre-made.
