«Using coconut milk powder not only allows you to adjust the consistency to achieve a creamy texture, but it also provides medium-chain fatty acids. For joint health, the combination of turmeric and miso in this broth acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory remedy, helping to reduce joint strain after the holiday season’s excesses.»
