Guest guest Posted October 8, 2002 Report Share Posted October 8, 2002 My butcher gives away what i think are knuckle joints free. He says he boils them for 20 minutes then eats the marrow. I use them to make soup. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it yet b/c it looks kind of gross, but I might start. I get a lot left over from making beef stock. Is it better than it looks?

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2002 Report Share Posted October 8, 2002 Hope these comments from a British web site will clarify the nutritional value of bone marrow. I copied a fair amount of this article for you, because it was so darned fascinating, however it is the first and last papagraphs which discuss bone marrow. I don't know how nutritious marrow is once it has been simmered for hours to make stock, but I think it tastes delicious when it is from a roasted piece of meat. Be well, Sheila The article: " Broken animal bones found in the Turkana Basin, Kenya, show that big changes had occurred with the appearance of the species Homo erectus around 1.8 million years ago. Cutmarks on the bones show clearly that Homo erectus was able to get to animal carcasses before other scavengers, and feed on the remains. Some of the long bones have been carefully smashed to get to the marrow inside. Stone tools found at this time are larger, more regular and more symmetrical than the simple tools found earlier. At the same time, the climate in East Africa was becoming drier and cooler, and the landscape was covered with less forest. It was not a coincidence that these developments all happened at the same time. Overcoming the challenges of the changing environment led directly to the evolution of some fundamental human characteristics. The australopithecines, like modern apes, probably relied on plant foods for most of their nutritional needs. They seem to have lived in forests close to rivers, environments which became increasingly scarce as the climate became drier and more seasonal. As a result, the important forest foods that apes traditionally rely on were not available all year round. Homo erectus had to find new food sources to fill the nutritional gap. Apes rely on sugar-rich fruits as a source of energy and vitamins, with other important vitamins, minerals and protein coming from young plant shoots. Some apes eat animal foods like insects, grubs and small mammals occasionally, which supplement their protein intake. Studies of the isotope composition of some australopithecine fossils indicate that they too were omnivorous. Indeed, there have even been cut-marks found on animal bones dating from 2.5 million years ago, associated with a late australopithecine, Australopithecus garhi. Evidence suggests that Homo erectus relied much more on animal foods as a regular part of their diet. Meat is highly nutritious, containing vital minerals, vitamins and protein building blocks. Some parts of the carcass like the brain, internal organs and bone marrow contain precious fats, in short supply on the savanna. In particular, bone marrow contains long chain fatty acids that are important for brain growth and development. > In a message dated Mon, 7 Oct 2002 9:43:19 PM Eastern Standard Time, anthony_byron@m... writes: > > > just wonderign what benifits are in bone marrow. > > when i grill lamb chops. at end of my meal i scoop out what bone > > marrow i can in the bones and eat it. but im not sure what > > good > > benifit it has > > Hi , > > Just wondering, how do you think it tastes?
