Making stock with pork feet is not something you should put your foot in your mouth about. Shout it to the rooftops! It’s high in collagen, which according to https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/bone-broth yields “several important amino acids.” If you woke up this morning and thought, why do I ache… “connective tissue gives you glucosamine and chondroitin, natural compounds found in cartilage that are known to support joint health.” Feet, my friends, happen to be a whole bunch of moving parts (including the bones!) connected by tissue just to make you feel better. Or, you know, to allow my pigs to roam the pasture. Dual benefit!
