Beef Bone Broth - JARMINO

Description of JARMINO Beef Bone Broth

JARMINO Beef Bone Broth is a ready-to-heat liquid broth sold in packs of six 350 ml glass jars. Organic beef bones are simmered for 20 hours, which is what draws the collagen, the amino acids and the minerals out of the bones and into the broth. Unlike the brand's concentrate, nothing has to be measured or diluted: you warm the jar and drink it, or use it as a base for a soup, a sauce or a risotto.

This is a food rather than a supplement, and it should be judged as one. Its collagen content is real but its cost per gram of collagen is high compared with the powder, and its interest lies in the format and the recipe rather than in concentration.

Composition of JARMINO Beef Bone Broth

The ingredient declaration is unusually complete for a broth: water, organic beef bones at 29%, then a homemade organic vegetable stock of onions, tomatoes, carrots, celery, leek, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, parsley, pepper, bay leaves and thyme, with stone salt. Every ingredient comes from controlled organic cultivation. Celery is the declared allergen.

• Per 100 ml: 20 kcal, 4.0 g of protein, 3.4 g of collagen, 1.1 g of carbohydrate, 0 g of fat and 0.5 g of salt.
• Per 350 ml jar: about 14 g of protein and 11.9 g of collagen.
• The full amino acid profile is published, with 0.83 g of glycine and 0.50 g of proline per 100 ml.
• The page states the broth is free from gluten, lactose, lead, histamine and arachidonic acid.

Ingredient Sourcing and Origin of Raw Materials

JARMINO produces the broth in its own factory in Bavaria, southeast of Munich, and states that it sources from 12 organic farmers in Bavaria and Tyrol who practice sustainable agriculture. The cattle are raised on pasture and, depending on the weather, spend at least 300 days a year outdoors. Production runs under HACCP and GMP or ISO 22000:2018, and the brand states that its broths are regularly laboratory tested with neither lead nor histamine detected.

How to Take JARMINO Beef Bone Broth

The broth is ready to eat. Heat it briefly in a pan and drink it, or use it as a cooking base. For a regular routine the brand suggests starting with half a jar, 175 ml, at least three times a week, and increasing from there if it suits you.

• Unopened jars keep for at least 18 months without refrigeration.
• Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3 days.
• Contains celery; not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
• Check the salt content against a sodium-restricted diet.

Price and Where to Buy JARMINO Beef Bone Broth

The official UK product page lists the pack of six 350 ml jars at £34.99, which is £16.66 per liter or about £5.83 a jar. The same six-jar format exists in chicken, veal, fish and vegetable at the same price, and trial packs of three or four jars are £19.99 and £24.99. For a daily habit the concentrate is far cheaper per cup, at £29.99 for 22 servings or £49.99 for 44.

My Take on JARMINO Beef Bone Broth

My assessment is based on the official page, not on a tasting. What justifies the price here is the recipe and the sourcing: 29% organic bones, a genuine organic vegetable stock rather than a flavoring, a 20-hour simmer and a named region. What limits it is arithmetic: 11.9 g of collagen for £5.83 against 8.1 g for £1.33 with the powder.

I would choose the jars for cooking or for someone who will not measure a powder every morning, and the concentrate or the Organic Collagen for a daily collagen routine. As with any broth, this is a nutritious food and not a treatment for a joint, skin or digestive problem.
