Our Bone Broth

Our Bone Broth

At Spear and Arrow, we promote getting back to our roots, using traditional cooking and seasonal foods to support our well-being. All our bone broth is made from antibiotic and hormone free Irish grass feed cattle bones with added homemade apple cider vinegar, sourced from local orchards in Northern Ireland to help with the mineral extraction of our broth.

Our bone broth has been simmered for 24 hours and we pride ourselves in our high protein and collagen jelly-like content rather than the frozen option of our competitors. Read more on bone broth here.

What is Bone Marrow?

Bone marrow is a spongy substance found in the centre of the bones. It manufactures bone marrow stem cells and other substances, which in turn produce blood cells. Each type of blood cell made by the bone marrow has an important job.

• Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues in the body
• White blood cells fight infections
• Platelets stop bleeding by helping blood clot

Bone marrow is rich in nutrients such as; iron, vitamin A and K, fatty acids, selenium, zinc and manganese and whilst bone broth may provide trace amounts of these nutrients, many claim that consuming it is an easier way to digest these nutrients.
