Humans have been enjoying delicious and nutritious animal bone marrow for centuries. It has a sweet, rich taste and a hearty texture, and is used mostly to flavor broths and soups. Recently, it has become a main course item at gourmet restaurants around the world.

Bone broth is not about the vitamins and minerals. It is about the gelatin, collagen, glucosamine and proteoglycans. Next time you make bone broth, skip the apple cider vinegar.

The longer the bones and meat cook, the more the proteases break the bonds connecting the proteins, and the more amino acids get detached (source). It just so happens that we taste many of these amino acids and protein fragments as bitter. Once we reach this point, there's no going back.

As long as the meat reaches a safe temperature, it's perfectly safe to eat the marrow inside the bones. Cook all raw beef, pork, lamb, and veal steaks, chops, and roasts to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F as measured with a food thermometer before removing meat from the heat source.
