Bone extract

Last updated

Bone extract is a substance or broth created by simmering bones in water to draw out their nutrients, collagen, gelatin, and minerals. [1] [2] It is used as a food ingredient or as medicine. [3] [4]

As a food ingredient, the method of extraction used produces a liquid that is added to dishes to incorporate depth and flavor to dishes like soups and sauces. [5] [6]

Health and nutritional benefits

Bone extract is mined for its potential health benefits, including providing nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, as well as collagen which may support joint health and skin elasticity. [4] It's commonly used in culinary applications and in some traditional medicine practices. [7]

Throughout the simmering process, bones release gelatin. Gelatin gives the extract its characteristic viscosity and mouthfeel. In addition to its culinary properties, gelatin is renowned only for its health advantages, including its potential to support joint health and facilitate digestion. [8]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Irish stew</span> Irish meat and vegetable stew

Irish stew or Stobhach is a stew native to Ireland that is traditionally made with root vegetables and lamb or mutton, but also commonly with beef. As in all traditional folk dishes, the exact recipe is not consistent from time to time, or place to place. Basic ingredients include lamb, or mutton, as well as potatoes, onions, and parsley. It may sometimes also include carrots. Irish stew is also made with kid. Irish stew is considered a national dish of Ireland.

Irish stew is a celebrated Irish dish, yet its composition is a matter of dispute. Purists maintain that the only acceptable and traditional ingredients are neck mutton chops or kid, potatoes, onions, and water. Others would add such items as carrots, turnips and pearl barley; but the purists maintain that they spoil the true flavour of the dish. The ingredients are boiled and simmered slowly for up to two hours. Salt can be added before or after the cooking. Mutton was the dominant ingredient because the economic importance of sheep lay in their wool and milk produce and this ensured that only old or economically non-viable animals ended up in the cooking pot, where they needed hours of slow cooking. Irish stew is the product of a culinary tradition that relied almost exclusively on cooking over an open fire. It seems that Irish stew was recognised as early as about 1800.
