My answer may surprise you: Fat, Bones, Organ Meats.
What is the big deal about broth?
What are healthy fats??
What is the big deal about organ Meats anyway???
In modern culture, both of these highly nutrient dense food staples have gotten a bad rap.
HOWEVER! The tide is turning back to ancestral wisdoms.
Now, I know you may be thinking Saturated Fat filled Lard? Icky Organ Meats? Broth is just broth right?
What if I told you, that the cheap seats, the lesser known cuts were actually the most flavorful, Nutrient Dense, best bang for your buck? They have transformed the way we cook in our kitchen, our baked goods are so good because of lard. Our broths are the most flavorful. And we are regaining deep nutrition by incorporating organ meats in our weekly routine.
But I have to start with a DISCLAIMER: not all fat, bones or organs are created equally.
Source matters, whatever those animals were exposed to (chemical laden feed, hormones, antibiotics etc) will store in the fat, bones and organ meats (filters of the body).
Our animals spend everyday outside, our cattle and lambs exclusively eat grass and hay, our pork and chicken eat a supplemental deist of organic soy-free, corn-free grains. Thus the cleanest end product possible.

My favorite way to incorporate these items into our lifestyle may surprise you.
We use our pastured Pork Lard in poundcake, pie crusts, chocolate chip cookies, handmade tortillas, pan searing veggies and more. It is our substitute for butter, we save butter for scathing on our breads & muffins!
Organ meats, found in our paleo blends (beef and lamb) can be found in taco night, burgers, smash tacos, creamy sausage and kale soup, chili, spaghetti, pizza night and so many staple meals that call for ground beef or sausage.
Broth for sipping, making rice, stews and soups and braising meat and veggies!
