Lamb Broth
Processed
Lamb broth is a savory liquid made by simmering lamb bones and meat, often used as a base for soups and stews. It's warming and hydrating, though it doesn't provide a significant vitamin or mineral profile on its own. It can be a comforting part of pregnancy meals.
Why it's good in pregnancy
Lamb broth can be soothing and hydrating, which is helpful when you want something warm and gentle on your stomach. While it isn't a major source of specific nutrients on its own, it adds rich flavor and moisture to meals built around more nutrient-dense ingredients like vegetables, grains, and legumes. It can also be comforting when appetite is reduced.
Serving ideas
Safety
Bring lamb broth to a full rolling boil before serving, particularly if homemade, to help eliminate any harmful bacteria. Store homemade broth in the refrigerator for up to four days, or freeze in portions for longer storage, reheating thoroughly until steaming before eating. When buying store-bought broth, choose sealed, unexpired products and check sodium content if that's a concern. Avoid leaving broth at room temperature for long periods.
