About Oxtail meat
Oxtail meat comes from the tail of cattle, offering a rich, gelatinous texture when cooked due to its high collagen content. It is a staple ingredient in many traditional cuisines worldwide, including Jamaican, Korean, and European dishes, often featured in hearty soups, stews, and slow-cooked recipes. Nutritionally, oxtail is a good source of protein and provides essential nutrients like iron and zinc. The natural collagen in oxtail supports joint health and skin elasticity. However, it’s also relatively high in fat and cholesterol, particularly if the fat isn’t trimmed before cooking. Cooking methods like slow braising unlock its deep, savory flavor and tenderize the meat, making it a favorite for comfort foods. Moderation and balanced preparation, such as removing excess fat, can help align its indulgent qualities with a healthy diet. Oxtail is ideal for those seeking nutrient-rich, flavorful options in traditional and global cuisines.
