Elevated Nutrition Arc

How We Elevate Recipes Through Nutrition

There are many different ways you can fortify the food you eat with health-boosting nutrients. One of the concepts we’ve developed is to our Brilliant Base recipes.

These slow-cooked base sauces are great building blocks that make your meals flavoursome and rich, and add super-high nutritional value to recipes.

If you take the example of a slow-cooked daube of beef (ox cheek), you could just add the joint with water and salt and pepper and you’d get a relatively tasty meal.

But, you’re not really achieving a nutritional balance to your meal.

Add in vegetables such as carrots, onions and celery and you begin to bring in more vitamins and minerals. Further up the arc, the addition of garlic and herbs bring in additional benefits: antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Spices and alcohol will provide depth of flavour and additional anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

This nutritional arc the foundation of our Brilliant Bases, which helps us to ensure that, with every meal you add them to, you’re guaranteed nutrients, anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants too.

Oxtail Elevated Recipe

With that in mind, replace the water in your slow cooked ox cheek recipe, and replace the water with our Bone Marrow Broth and there are additional nutrients added as you fast forward fortification. As the broth is slow-cooked, it draws out vitamins and minerals from the vegetables that were used as a trivet and the garlic, herbs and spices that are also added.

The slow cooking of the bones also draws out collagen from the connective tissues and provides gelatine and other health-promoting amino acids (the building blocks of protein) such as glycine and glutamine. Using our bone broth also adds functional benefits to the dish: gelatine helps the smooth transition of food through the gut, while glutamine can help keep the gut lining healthy hence promoting immune function. Collagen, meanwhile, can help with skin elasticity and bone mineral density.

Grass fed cuts can increase beneficial omega 3 fats in the meat, organic will mean fewer chemicals and antibiotics, while the breed of the animal can also alter flavour profile and tenderness of the meat itself.

Add this altogether and you can see why we claim Elevated really is taking your food to new heights – from both a flavour and a functional nutrition point of view.
