Soups ~ Cow Foot (Heel) Soup (Cayman Style)
Bone marrow is one of humanity’s first superfoods, eaten by our early ancestors and full of protein, calcium, phosphate, and magnesium. Cow foot stew is also revered as an aphrodisiac and recommended as a hangover cure.
Bikorimana further explains that for minerals such as calcium, silicon, sulfur, magnesium, phosphorous, and trace elements, cow heels are the best choice and the advantage is that these minerals exist in a form that can easily be absorbed by the body.
