About Korean-Style Bone Broth

What is Korean-style bone broth?

Korean-style bone broth refers to Seolleongtang (beef) and Dwaeji Gomtang (pork) - deeply nourishing broths made by boiling bones in water for many hours to extract all the collagen, marrow, and minerals until the broth becomes cloudy and umami-rich. They’re traditionally unseasoned, letting you salt and flavor them exactly as you like.

Why is Korean bone broth white?

Korean bone broths like Seolleongtang and Dwaeji Gomtang turn white because collagen, marrow, and minerals naturally emulsify into the broth during cooking. This creates the signature milky appearance and deep umami flavor that Korean-style broths are known for - no dairy or additives needed.

Is Korean bone broth good for you?

Korean-style broths are valued for their real-food nourishment. They’re made from bones and connective tissue, which naturally release collagen and minerals into the broth. Because our broths contain only bones and water, they fit easily into whole-food, nutrient-focused ways of eating.

What makes Reclamation Foods bone broth different?

We make Korean-style bone broths using traditional methods and bones sourced from regional regenerative farms. Our broths naturally emulsify from real collagen and marrow with no concentrates, no shortcuts, and no added seasoning. Every jar begins with grass-fed or pasture-raised bones sourced from regional farmers committed to regenerative practices and animal welfare.

Sourcing, Ingredients, Nutrition & Quality

Are your broths high in collagen?

Yes. Our broths naturally contain collagen because we use real bones and traditional cooking methods.
