Bone Broth Sampler Bundle Tutorial: Easy How-To Guide

Discover the Bone Broth Sampler Bundle: Your Gateway to Gut-Friendly Flavors

The Bone Broth Sampler Bundle tutorial starts with what's in the box: 3 cartons of organic chicken bone broth and 3 cartons of grass-fed beef bone broth for $54. Each shelf-stable carton gives you rich, gourmet depth without onion or garlic bulbs—a solid pick if you're managing IBS or following a low FODMAP diet. It tastes like hours of simmering, not like cracking open a generic can.

What's Inside: Chicken, Beef, and Why This Sampler Fits Your Kitchen

Our chicken bone broth uses organic, free-range bones simmered with green leek tops and scallion greens for savory, onion-like complexity your gut can tolerate. The beef version pairs grass-fed bones with oyster mushrooms and nori seaweed, creating umami depth that rivals traditional stock. Both are Low FODMAP certified, gluten-free, and free of fillers, preservatives, yeast extract, or maltodextrin.

Gourmend's Clean-Label Promise: Low FODMAP Certified and B Corp Backed

Gourmend Foods earned Low FODMAP certification through third-party testing. As a certified B Corporation, we offset 100% of our carbon footprint and source ingredients from U.S. organic farms. You get ethics and flavor in every sip.

From My IBS Journey to Your Table: Why We Created This Bundle

I launched Gourmend after years of IBS left me unable to enjoy bold flavors. Traditional broths loaded with onion and garlic meant pain and bloating. This sampler lets you try both varieties, find the profile you like, then stock up with larger bundles for weekly meal prep.

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Unbox, Heat, and Savor Your Sampler Bundle

Mastering the Bone Broth Sampler Bundle tutorial takes under 5 minutes. Whether you're sipping straight from a mug or building a weeknight soup base, these methods work.

Unboxing Guide: Check Contents and Storage Tips for Freshness

Open your box and confirm you have 3 chicken and 3 beef cartons. Check the expiration dates on each package. Store unopened cartons in a cool, dry pantry—no refrigeration needed until you break the seal. Once opened, transfer unused broth to a glass container, refrigerate, and use within a week.

Beginner Heating Methods: Stovetop, Microwave, and Sipping Straight

1. Stovetop: Pour your desired amount into a small pot. Heat over medium until steaming (about 3 minutes). Season with sea salt and black pepper.
2. Microwave: Transfer broth to a microwave-safe mug. Heat on high for 90 seconds, stir, then heat another 30 seconds if needed.
3. Cold sip: Some customers enjoy chilled broth straight from the carton on hot days. Safe and refreshing.

Pro Tips for Daily Use: From Quick Sips to Meal Bases

Start your morning with a warm mug of chicken broth seasoned with fresh ginger and scallion greens. Use beef broth as a 1:1 replacement for water when cooking quinoa or rice—it gives grains serious savory depth. Freeze leftover broth in ice cube trays, then pop out cubes to deglaze pans or add umami to stir-fries. For more ideas, visit our organic, gut friendly, low FODMAP broths collection.

Why Gourmend Bone Broth Sampler Shines for Digestion and Taste

Low FODMAP Flavor: Chives and Nori Add Onion-Like Depth Without Bulbs

Traditional broths rely on onion and garlic bulbs, but those can trigger IBS symptoms. We use chive sprigs, green leek tops, and scallion greens to mimic that aromatic complexity without the FODMAP load. Oyster mushrooms and nori seaweed add glutamate-rich umami—slow-simmered flavor without the bulbs.

Nutrients in Bone Broth: Collagen, Glycine, and Minerals

Bone broth naturally contains collagen, glycine, and minerals like calcium and magnesium from the simmering process. Some research suggests collagen may support gut lining function, and glycine plays a role in digestion and metabolism. If you're managing triggers, broth offers a simple way to add comforting flavor while keeping ingredients predictable. Learn more about bone broth and its nutrient content.

Sourcing and Sustainability: U.S. Organic Ingredients and Carbon Offsets

Ingredients come from certified organic U.S. farms. Our beef bones are 100% grass-fed, and chicken bones come from free-range flocks. As a B Corp, Gourmend offsets production and shipping emissions.

Quick Chicken Bone Broth Soup for Busy Weeknights

Pour 2 cartons of Gourmend chicken bone broth into a large pot. Add 1 cup cooked quinoa, 2 cups baby spinach, 1 cup diced carrots, and 8 oz cooked chicken breast. Simmer for 10 minutes. Season with black pepper, fresh thyme, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Hearty Beef Bone Broth Chili with Low FODMAP Twists

Brown 1 lb grass-fed ground beef in a Dutch oven.

Sampler vs. Bulk: Which Bundle Matches Your Routine?

The $54 sampler gives you 6 cartons to try both flavors. If you cook 3–4 meals per week using broth as a base, a 12-carton chicken or beef bundle offers better per-carton value. Many families keep both on hand: chicken for lighter soups and grains, beef for stews and hearty sauces.

Join Thousands of Happy Gourmend Customers: Real Stories

Customers tell us these broths make meal planning easier when they're avoiding onion and garlic. One recent review: "Finally, a broth that doesn't leave me bloated but still tastes like I made it from scratch." Another shared: "I keep the sampler at my office for quick afternoon sips when my stomach acts up."

Get More from Your Bone Broth Sampler Bundle: Advanced Strategies and Smart Scaling

You've mastered the basics. Here are next-level ways to get more mileage from six cartons—whether you're cooking for yourself or feeding a family that just wants great flavor.

Flavor Layering Techniques: Build Restaurant-Style Depth at Home

Layer liquids to build deeper flavor. Start a pan sauce by deglazing with 2 tablespoons of beef bone broth after searing steak, then finish with another 1/4 cup at the end. The first splash lifts the browned bits; the second rounds out the sauce. With chicken broth, try poaching fish fillets directly in gently simmering broth with fresh dill and lemon slices. The fish stays tender, and you get a light sauce.

Reduce either broth by half in a small saucepan to create a concentrated glaze for roasted vegetables. Brush it on carrots, parsnips, or zucchini during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a glossy, savory finish—no added sugar or thickeners.

Meal Prep Systems That Actually Save Time

Batch-cook grains, proteins, and vegetables using broth as your cooking liquid. Cook 4 cups of jasmine rice in chicken broth, portion into containers, and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Steam green beans over simmering beef broth instead of plain water for subtle savory notes.

To stay within the 7-day window, keep one open carton at a time (either chicken or beef) and plan two to three uses across the week: one sip, one grain, and one dinner base is usually enough to finish it.

Troubleshooting Common First-Timer Mistakes

Easy to oversalt if you forget broth already contains sodium. Start with less salt than usual, taste, then adjust. If a soup tastes flat, add a little acid (lemon juice or rice vinegar). If it tastes too sharp, stir in more broth to soften the edges.

Avoid boiling bone broth aggressively when sipping. Gentle steaming keeps the texture pleasant. When freezing leftover broth, leave about 1 inch of headspace in containers since liquid expands as it freezes.

When to Graduate from Sampler to Bulk Buying

If you use all 6 cartons within about 3 weeks and wish you had more, bulk bundles may fit better. Families cooking 5+ meals weekly often do well with 12-carton cases of their preferred variety. Solo cooks may like rotating chicken and beef packs to keep variety without overstocking.

Seasonal promos can be a good time to buy, but purchase only what you'll use within the 18-month shelf life.

Pairing Your Broth with Gourmend Seasonings for Complete Meals

The Bone Broth Sampler Bundle tutorial pairs well with Gourmend's low FODMAP seasoning blends. Use the Everything Bagel blend to season chicken broth before poaching salmon. Stir the Taco blend into beef broth when making Mexican-inspired rice. These certified blends help you build flavor quickly while keeping ingredients gut-friendly.

Your sampler bundle keeps low FODMAP-friendly flavor ready in the pantry. If you decide to reorder, pick the variety you used most and keep the other on rotation for variety.

Frequently Asked Questions
