About Beef shin
Beef shin, sourced from the lower leg of the cow, is a tough cut packed with flavor and rich connective tissue. Common in traditional European stews, Asian braises, and South African potjies, this affordable cut excels in slow-cooked dishes that allow collagen to break down into gelatin, creating tender textures and silky broths. Nutritionally, beef shin is a good source of protein, zinc, and B vitamins like B12 and niacin, which aid in energy metabolism and immune health. However, it tends to be higher in fat, including saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation within a balanced diet. Its dense connective tissue provides natural collagen, supportive of joint and skin health. While not ideal for quick cooking due to its toughness, beef shin is prized for its hearty, wholesome characteristics in long cooking methods that elevate its rich nutritional profile.
