Stock, a flavorful liquid foundation in cooking, is made by simmering bones, meat, vegetables, and aromatic herbs. Originating from traditional cuisines worldwide, it serves as a cornerstone in French, Asian, and many other culinary traditions, enhancing soups, sauces, and stews. Typically, a stock is rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium, extracted from bones during the cooking process, and may contain collagen, which supports joint health and skin elasticity. Vegetable stock offers a lighter, vegetarian option packed with vitamins and antioxidants from its plant-based ingredients. While stock is generally considered healthful, its sodium content can vary depending on preparation and added seasonings, which may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Homemade versions can be customized for both healthier and more flavorful results, making stock a versatile and nutritious choice for a balanced diet.
