Winter is coming, and the hard, nourishing dishes are gradually brought to the table. Among them, The big stick bone firmly occupies the “C” position. Whether it is sauce stick bone or soup stick bone bone, it is hard to refuse.
The reason big stick bones are so popular is not because of the meat on the bones, but precisely because of the small amount of marrow. Just the thought of taking a straw “siyo-yo” sucking bone marrow picture, is very happy. As for the benefits of bone marrow, some parents say that giving children calcium supplements to grow up; There are also old people said, eat can strengthen the body, big repair.
Does slender bone marrow have so much “magic”? Today we’re going to talk about what you’re eating when you eat bone marrow.
Nearly 90 percent of the bone marrow is fat
There is no specific content of various nutrients in fresh bone marrow in the “Chinese Food Composition List”. But the U.S. Nutrient Laboratory gives nutritional data for “raw reindeer bone marrow” : 100 grams of fresh bone marrow contains 84.4 grams of fat, 6.7 grams of protein, 4.5 milligrams of iron, and no data (or zero) for calcium.
From the above data can be judged, the bone marrow is mainly fat, saturated fatty acid, cholesterol and so on many. There is only a small amount of protein, and nutrients such as iron and calcium are very little or none.
It’s the nearly 90 percent fat content that makes bone marrow taste delicious and greasy. Bone marrow, it seems, has not escaped the truism that the tastier the food, the higher the fat content.
So, when you’re happily eating bone marrow, you’re eating fat in the afternoon.
Can big bone soup fill calcium?
Since the bone marrow is fat, bone broth can always supplement calcium, right? If you think so, you are wrong again.
It’s true that calcium in animals is mostly found in bone tissue, but mostly in the form of hydroxyapatite crystals, which are insoluble in water and difficult to boil.
As early as 1999, a research paper explored how much calcium can be dissolved in bone soup. It found that the calcium content in bone soup was negligible when boiled normally, and that the use of a pressure cooker for two hours did not significantly increase the calcium content of the soup. Therefore, bone broth and bone marrow are not calcium supplements. The idea of bone marrow is not valid.
