Meat
Bone
Goat bones—necks, shanks, and frames—make a light, savoury stock that underpins Caribbean, South Asian, Mediterranean, and West African goat dishes. Collagen and residual meat give body without the heavy beefiness of ox bones; roasted bones darken the pot for richer stews. Simmer gently for hours, strain, and cool. Use as the base for curry gravies, soups, and braising liquids. Marrow from larger joints can be roasted separately. Fresh bones smell clean; discard any with sour notes.

Minerals
Bone itself is mineral matrix; culinary values reflect marrow and attached tissue more than pure bone.
Grading systems
