Protein: how much of each pouch is protein
The two seasoned broths sit a little lower because they carry herbs, vegetables and a pinch of seasoning. That’s the flavour you’re paying for, not filler.
Collagen per spoon
Beef broths lead on collagen, and Pure Beef leads the lot. If collagen is your main reason for buying, start there.
Pick by moment
Pure Beef. Stir it in and you won’t taste it. Try the Broffee.
Beef Marrow or Chicken + Veg in a mug. Savoury, warm, done in 30 seconds. Meet the 4pm desk mug.
Pure Beef. A spoon in the sneaky bolognese and nobody’s any the wiser.
Pure Chicken. Soups, rice, risotto and golden scrambled eggs.
Fun facts to bring up at dinner
- For most of human history, marrow was the most prized part of the animal. Beef Marrow brings it back to your mug.
- For centuries, chicken essence was slowly simmered and treasured in Asian kitchens. Pure Chicken is that same idea, from British free-range chicken.
- Two of the four have Taste of the West awards: Chicken + Veg took Gold and Beef Marrow took Silver.
- Pure Beef tastes of so little that people put it in their coffee every morning and forget it’s there.
