Bone Marrow

Part of ancestral eating is eating as much of the animal as possible, this is because different parts of the animal are rich in different nutrients which support different systems and tissues in the body. This is referred to as nose to tail eating.

By eating nose to tail we better ensure that we are getting all our nutrients and getting them in the right proportions. And that means eating the bones (as in bone broth or bone marrow) too! If you struggle to make the time to make bone broth, roasting marrow bones may be an easier way to get bones into your diet.

Some of the health benefits of eating bones (both marrow and broth) include:

• Increases Bone, Joint, Skin, Hair, And Nail Health
• Promotes Muscle Growth
• Speeds Up Injury Recovery
• Decreases Aging
• Provides Lots Of Important Nutrients (Like Collagen, Vitamin D, Phosphorus, Calcium, Glycosaminoglycans, Vitamin K2, Magnesium, And More!)
• Promotes Healing Of The Gut Lining
• Prevents Osteoporosis

I have really enjoyed incorporating bone marrow into my diet! It’s very delicious and excellent for you! I hope you enjoy it too!

With love from my kitchen to yours,

Kayley

P.S. If you’re having trouble finding marrow bones I suggest asking the butcher at your local grocery store. They often have them in the back and will gladly cut them up for you if you ask nicely!
