Frequently Asked Questions About Bone marrow broth
What is bone marrow broth made from?
Bone marrow broth is made by simmering marrow-containing bones in water, often with vegetables and seasonings. The bones are strained out before serving, leaving a savoury broth that can be sipped or used in cooking.
How is bone marrow broth different from bone broth?
Bone marrow broth specifically uses bones containing marrow, while bone broth can be made from a wider mix of bones and connective tissue. The names are often used loosely, so recipes and ingredients can overlap.
How do you make bone marrow broth at home?
To make bone marrow broth, simmer marrow bones in water with optional vegetables and herbs, then strain the liquid. Skim off foam as it cooks, and add salt near the end so you can control the seasoning.
Why doesn't my bone marrow broth gel?
Bone marrow broth may not gel if the bones release little gelatin or the broth is diluted with too much water. That does not mean it has gone bad; it can still be used as a broth.
Does bone marrow broth help joint pain?
Bone marrow broth is not a proven treatment for joint pain. Its collagen becomes gelatin during cooking, but there is not strong evidence that drinking it repairs joints or relieves arthritis symptoms.
Should you roast bones before making bone marrow broth?
No, roasting bones is not essential for bone marrow broth. Roasting them first can give the finished broth a deeper, more browned flavour, while simmering unroasted bones makes a milder broth.
Should you remove the fat from bone marrow broth?
No, you do not have to remove the fat from bone marrow broth. For a less rich broth, chill it until the fat firms on top, then lift it off before reheating.
How long does bone marrow broth last in the fridge?
Bone marrow broth usually keeps for 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool it promptly after cooking, and discard it if it develops an off smell or unusual appearance.
Can you freeze bone marrow broth?
Yes, bone marrow broth freezes well. Let it cool, portion it into freezer-safe containers with room for expansion, and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating thoroughly.
Can you use bone marrow broth instead of stock?
Yes, bone marrow broth can replace stock in soups, sauces, grains, and braises. Its flavour may be richer and more concentrated, so taste the dish before adding extra salt.

What is Bone marrow broth?
Bone marrow broth is made by simmering marrow-bearing bones in water until the liquid is richly flavoured and golden. It is a familiar home-cooking staple in many places, served as a warm drink or used as a base for soups, stews and sauces; recipes often include vegetables and herbs.
Its savoury taste is mild, while the texture can feel full-bodied and slightly gelatinous when warm. You can sip it from a mug or use it to add depth to a meal. It provides protein and is low in carbohydrates, though the exact composition varies with the bones and preparation. For a lighter cup, chill the broth and skim off some of the fat that rises to the surface.
