About Oxtails
Oxtails are the culinary term for the tail of cattle, known for their rich, savory flavor and tender texture when slow-cooked. A staple in cuisines across the globe, including Jamaican, Korean, and Southern American cooking, oxtails are prized for their ability to create hearty, flavorful broths and stews. Nutritionally, they are high in protein, collagen, and iron, making them excellent for supporting muscle health and promoting skin elasticity. However, oxtails are also relatively high in fat, which can contribute to calorie density when not trimmed or prepared mindfully. The cartilage and bone content also provide valuable minerals like calcium and magnesium. Since oxtails often require slow, extended cooking methods, this helps release the nutrients while creating an indulgent, comforting dish. When enjoyed in moderation and paired with vegetables, oxtails can be part of a balanced, nutrient-rich meal.
