Bone Marrow

Bone Marrow is the soft, fatty tissue found inside animal bones and is commonly used in many cuisines (especially French and modern steakhouse cooking) as a spread, garnish or to enrich sauces and broths. It is prized for its rich, buttery flavor and gelatinous mouthfeel when roasted or melted. Nutrition-wise, Bone Marrow is an energy-dense source of fat, providing about 84g of fat per 100g; it has very little carbohydrate or fiber and modest protein. It also contains monounsaturated fats and fat-soluble nutrients that contribute to its richness. From a health perspective, Bone Marrow is best enjoyed in small amounts — it supplies concentrated culinary fat and flavor and a high-quality amino acid profile, but because it is high in saturated fat and calories it’s not a daily replacement for leaner or plant-based fats.
