Homemade elbow

Overview

Pork provides humans with high-quality protein and essential fatty acids. Pork can provide heme (organic iron) and cysteine that promotes iron absorption, which can improve iron deficiency anemia. Pork trotters are very nutritious and contain a lot of protein, especially collagen. Like pork skin, they are a good dietary supplement to make the skin plump and moist, and to strengthen the body and gain weight. The elbows are full of collagen, and even the broth can be pulled out, making it a great beauty product.
