Foam floating in bone broth is harmful
Bone broth is a familiar dish in our country. In animal bones, there are a large amount of minerals, 17 different amino acids, collagen, and gelatin. Although each type of bone has different nutritional content, cooking time, and cooking methods, they all contain nutrients that are good for health.
When simmering bone broth, you can easily observe a white foam floating on top, which is excess blood and does not harm your health. However, to maintain cleanliness and make the broth more visually appealing, you should remove the white foam.

How to simmer bone broth without foam
One of the ways to simmer bone broth without foam is as follows:
After buying the bones, you rinse them thoroughly and soak them in water for 30 minutes. This is a way to ensure that all the blood inside the bones is completely released. The main reason is that the red blood has a red color when cooked and becomes cloudy, which makes the water cloudy, the bones turn black, and they have a foul smell. Therefore, you need to completely remove this component to make your bone broth clearer.
Next, after soaking, you put the bones in cold water, bring it to a boil, flip them over a bit, then remove the bones and rinse them clean. When you put them in boiling water, the bones and dirt will immediately contract when they encounter the heat. Therefore, many impurities in the bone marrow will not be released and float on the surface.
Boil the pot of bone broth until it boils vigorously, then reduce the heat to simmer. During simmering, do not cover the pot because covering it will make the bone broth cloudy. Pay attention to keep the heat low so that the bone slowly releases its natural sweetness, and remember to skim off the foam to keep the broth clear.

How to deal with cloudy bone broth
– You can use a cloth or a fine mesh strainer to strain the broth and remove any debris, then bring it back to a boil.
– Take 1 egg white, beat it until it’s dissolved, then add it to the pot of broth, stir it well so that the foam rolls into it and then skim it off. The broth will become clear again.
