About Neck bones

Neck bones, commonly pork or beef, are a cost-effective and flavorful cut of meat often used in Southern, African-American, and soul food cuisines. Rich in connective tissue and marrow, they yield a deeply savory taste when slow-cooked, making them ideal for soups, stews, or braised dishes. Nutritionally, neck bones are high in protein and provide essential minerals like iron and zinc. The collagen from the bones contributes to joint health and skin elasticity when broken down into gelatin during cooking. However, they can also be high in saturated fat, and recipes may include added sodium depending on preparation methods. Balancing neck bones with vegetables and whole grains can create a wholesome, comforting meal. Enjoyed globally for their versatile flavor and affordability, neck bones offer a hearty and nutritious addition to your culinary repertoire.
