MARROW

Bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue found inside the bones, primarily in the hip bones, ribs, and skull, and it plays a crucial role in producing blood cells. It consists of red marrow (which makes red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) and yellow marrow (which stores fat). Bone marrow is vital for the production of blood and immune cells, making it essential for overall health.

Marrow is also a type of summer squash, specifically a variety of squash with a mild, slightly sweet flavor, often referred to as vegetable marrow or zucchini in some countries. It is green, with a light, soft flesh, and is typically used in cooking in a variety of dishes.
