About Picana beef

Picanha beef, a traditional cut originating from Brazilian cuisine, is prized for its rich flavor and tenderness. This premium cut is taken from the top of the rump and is distinguished by its signature fat cap, which enhances juiciness and adds depth to its taste during grilling or roasting. Picanha is a staple in Brazilian churrasco, where it's typically seasoned with coarse salt and cooked over open flames to perfection. In terms of nutrition, it’s an excellent source of protein, supporting muscle repair and growth. Picanha also provides essential nutrients like iron and zinc, which are vital for energy and immune function. However, its fat cap contributes to a higher saturated fat content, so moderation is key in maintaining heart health. When paired with wholesome sides like vegetables and whole grains, picanha can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
