Ostrich is
a red meat, very similar in taste and texture to beef. Ostrich is much
lower in fat and cholesterol than beef and is actually slightly lower in
fat and cholesterol than either chicken or turkey while being higher in
protein than all three. The American Cancer Society and the American
Heart Association have both recommended ostrich for its health benefits.
We raise our ostrich on our own farm in Andover, New Jersey. Our feed
program is based on organic alfalfa and corn, with no antibiotics or
growth hormones ever, ever used. An all-natural product! These
birds are free roaming until they are 10 to 14 months old, producing the
most tender and delicious meat available. Our ostrich has won numerous
culinary awards for "outstanding quality."
Each adult bird yields approximately 75-90 pounds of meat, which comes primarily from
the upper leg, back and thigh muscles. Leg muscles are primarily used
for Ostrich Burgers and upper muscles are used in steaks & fillets.
As with most cuts of very lean meat, ostrich is best cooked quickly
over very high heat to seal in the juices. Cooking more than medium
rare is not recommended.
