Pork Bones

Average Weight Per Pack 2.7lbs

Pork bones are a flavorful ingredient commonly used to make rich broths, stocks, soups, and stews. Bones from the neck, back, ribs, feet, and hocks each add different qualities: meaty bones contribute savory flavor, while joints and feet provide collagen that gives broth a fuller body. For best results, roast the bones at 400°F (205°C) until browned before simmering them with water, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and herbs. Keep the liquid at a gentle simmer rather than a hard boil, and cook for several hours to extract flavor. Pork bones should be handled safely: keep them refrigerated or frozen until use, avoid cross-contamination with ready-to-eat foods, and cook any pork meat attached to the bones thoroughly. A well-made pork bone broth can be used as a base for ramen, bean soups, gravies, sauces, or braised dishes.
