In this video we will be taking some of the Chicken Bone Broth I made (Yes, I ran out of time to get it canned so on to the next thing I can do with it) and we will be making DIY Chicken Bouillon. I am using a freeze dryer for this, but I believe you can do the same thing if you freeze your bone broth and use a food dehydrator, it may take quite a bit longer, mine took 2 days in the Freeze Dryer. Doing your chicken bouillon this way help to keep all the goodness of your bone broth in a much easier way. The benefits to Bone Broth are listed below.

Benefits of Homemade Chicken Bone Broth

Homemade chicken bone broth is a nutrient-rich food that is packed with protein, collagen, minerals, and vitamins.
It can help to improve gut health, joint health, and skin health.
It can also help to boost the immune system and promote weight loss.

The second item we are doing (Though at the same time) is making homemade Bone Meal for the garden. I have saved up chicken bones and will also be using the freeze dryer to do this as well. If you do not have a Freeze dryer don't fret there are other ways to make this bone mean for your garden.

Benefits of Bone Meal

Bone meal is a natural fertilizer that is high in phosphorus, calcium, and other nutrients.
It can help to improve soil quality and plant growth.
It can also help to prevent plant diseases.

How to Make Bone Meal without a Freeze Dryer

Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spread the bones on a baking sheet and bake for 2-3 hours, or until they are dry and brittle.
Grind the bones into a fine powder using a food processor or blender.
Store the bone meal in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
