Whole-Food Nutritional Context
Bovine cartilage is a naturally occurring animal tissue composed of collagen, proteins, peptides, fats, and connective-tissue components as part of its whole-food matrix. These constituents occur naturally in food and are not isolated, standardised, or chemically concentrated.
Cartilage naturally contains collagen-rich structural proteins, along with glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans that are integral components of connective tissues. These compounds exist within cartilage as part of its normal biological structure.
The freeze-drying process helps preserve these naturally occurring components without the use of high heat or chemical solvents.
Traditional Dietary Context
Cartilaginous tissues, bone broth, and connective tissues have historically been consumed in many traditional cultures as part of whole-animal, nose-to-tail diets. These dietary patterns focused on utilising all edible parts of the animal as sources of nourishment rather than isolating individual nutrients.
Trachea, scapula, and other cartilage-rich parts were commonly used in traditional food preparations, particularly in broths and slow-cooked dishes, where connective tissues contributed to the overall nutritional profile of the meal.
