Bone marrow is a creamy substance that is found in the middle of long bones. It is composed of enormous amounts of micronutrients, amino acids, stem cells, collagen and alkylglycerols (which protect the body from foreign invaders and force cancer cells to kill themselves, wow!). It is the ultimate brain food being fatty, nutrient dense and rich in energy. It is even considered a delicacy in many countries.

Well this was my first time trying bone marrow. I had been reading about it a lot and I passed by it in the grocery store the other day and just said "Hey, why not?" It was pretty interesting... I'm just getting used to this whole idea of fat being good for you so the texture was still a little rough for me to handle, but the flavors were delicious!
