About Beef picanha
Beef Picanha, widely celebrated in Brazilian cuisine, is a flavorful cut sourced from the rump cap of the cow. This prized meat is known for its tender texture and characteristic fat cap, which renders during cooking to infuse the meat with rich, savory flavor. Traditionally grilled over open flames or cooked as part of a churrasco (Brazilian barbecue), Picanha is often seasoned simply with coarse salt to highlight its natural taste. Nutritionally, this cut is a great source of protein, iron, and important B vitamins, supporting muscle health and energy production. However, its generous fat content, while contributing to its succulence, makes it high in calories and saturated fats, which can impact heart health if consumed in excess. For a balanced approach, enjoy Picanha in moderation alongside nutrient-dense sides like leafy greens and roasted vegetables.
