About Squab
Squab, known as young pigeon, is a tender and flavorful poultry option often featured in gourmet cuisine. Its roots trace back to French, Chinese, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions, where it is prized for its delicate taste and succulent texture. Nutritionally, squab is rich in protein, offering about 22 grams per 3-ounce serving, and provides valuable vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, and B vitamins that support energy metabolism and immune health. It is relatively low in fat when roasted or grilled, though preparation methods like frying can increase calorie and fat content. Squab’s dark, rich meat contains higher cholesterol levels compared to other poultry, so moderation is recommended for those monitoring their intake. Its versatility makes it a unique and nutritious addition to varied recipes while providing a gourmet experience rooted in global traditions.
