About Quail

Quail is a small game bird prized for its tender, flavorful meat and versatility in cooking. Rich in protein and low in fat, quail is a nutritious choice for those seeking lean sources of animal protein. It contains vital nutrients like iron, phosphorus, vitamin B6, and niacin, supporting energy production, immune health, and strong bones. Originating in various global cuisines, quail is particularly popular in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and French dishes, often roasted, grilled, or braised. Its delicate meat pairs well with herbs, fruits, and subtle spices. While quail is relatively low in calories, its skin can add fats, so removing the skin can make it a lighter option. Quail eggs are also a dietary staple in many cultures, offering concentrated nutrients. However, moderation is key to maintaining a balanced diet, as quail can contain cholesterol depending on preparation methods.
