Bull Nuts, also known as Rocky Mountain oysters, are a unique delicacy traditionally found in Western American and ranch-style cuisine. Despite their name, these are not seafood but rather the testicles of bulls, typically harvested during cattle branding. They are usually peeled, boiled, sliced, and deep-fried, resulting in a crispy outer texture and tender interior. Bull Nuts are a good source of protein, iron, and zinc, contributing to muscle growth and immune support. However, the method of preparation often involves frying, which can add significant amounts of saturated fat and calories. For a healthier option, they can be grilled or baked instead. Often served as an appetizer or alongside dipping sauces, Bull Nuts hold cultural significance in rural communities and offer adventurous eaters a taste of traditional ranch fare.
