About Pork bone
Pork bone is the skeletal material from a pig, sometimes sold with small amounts of attached meat, connective tissue or marrow. Pieces vary in size and shape according to the cut; the hard outer bone surrounds softer interior tissue, and the flavour of any attached edible parts is mild to savory.
It is commonly simmered to make stock or broth, or cooked alongside meat in soups and braises. Whole, split and sawn pieces are all encountered, and their contribution depends on how much meat, marrow and connective tissue remains attached.
