Bone Broth of the Flamebone — Collagen Fire for Gut and Soul

“It bubbles like memory. It smells like marrow. It heals what even words cannot.”

🪔 What Is This Broth?

Not mere stock — this is **slow-simmered life essence**, drawn from beef **marrow bones, meaty cuts**,
and **collagen-rich joints** like knuckle and shank. Layered with **gut-restoring herbs**,
adaptogens like **ashwagandha and reishi**, and kissed by a **flavor profile of fire-roasted onion, fennel, and cardamom**.
A blend of bone, root, and herb. Not a meal — a ritual.
