NUTRITION
FatWorks Foods: All fats are not created equal. On the quest for high-quality healthy fats both for our products and to cook with, we discovered FatWorks foods. As one of our main tallow suppliers, they work relentlessly to source their fat from over 25 US-based family farms that also support their values.
OMGhee: Ghee is clarified butter, or butter with all of the milk solids removed. High quality ghee (when made using butter from grass-fed, pastured cows) is LOADED with omega 3 and omega 9 essential fatty acids, and is also a great source of Vitamin A, D, E, and K. Ghee also helps jump start digestion which speeds up the breakdown of foods unlike butter which slows down your digestive process. When it comes to quality Ghee, our search ended with OMGhee.
Bare Bones Broth: A lot of people eat the meat off the bone and discard the bones...don't throw those bones away people! Our friends over at Bare Bones Broth use those bones to create nutrient-dense, collagen-packed liquid gold!
