Oxtail, a flavorful and nutrient-rich ingredient, is the tail of cattle, traditionally used in cuisines worldwide, including Jamaican, Korean, and European dishes. Renowned for its rich, gelatinous texture when cooked, oxtail is often featured in soups, stews, and braised dishes. It’s packed with protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as iron, which support energy levels, red blood cell formation, and overall health. A key source of collagen, it promotes joint health and skin elasticity. However, oxtail is high in fat, particularly saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation to maintain heart health. Slow cooking allows its natural flavors to deepen while softening its cartilage and connective tissues. Though indulgent, oxtail provides a balanced mix of nutrients when prepared thoughtfully and enjoyed as part of a diverse and healthy diet.
