About Ox tail
Ox tail, derived from the tail of cattle, is a nutrient-dense protein source widely used in European, Caribbean, and Asian cuisines. Its rich, gelatinous texture makes it a favorite for slow-cooked dishes like stews and broths. Packed with essential nutrients, ox tail contains high-quality protein, collagen, and iron, which promote joint and skin health and support energy production. It also offers vitamins B12 and B6, vital for nerve function and brain health. However, ox tail is naturally high in fat, including saturated fat, which may not be ideal for those monitoring heart health or aiming to reduce calorie intake. Cooking methods like boiling or braising help extract collagen and nutrients while skimming fat during preparation can reduce its overall fat content. Ox tail exemplifies traditional nose-to-tail dining, celebrating both flavor and nutritional benefits in hearty, comforting recipes.
